Hey there! It's Renee from thediyday here to share one of my favorite hobbies, journaling. Surprisingly, when it comes to journaling, I enjoy personalizing those inexpensive $0.59 composition books. The covers usually have some basic design to them and it's easy to incorporate that with my own creative touch. Here's how I decorated my composition book with some of my favorite StencilGirl® Stencils.
I wanted to incorporate most of the journal design into my design, so I decided to cover up the portions I didn't want with Gesso.
Then I used Matte Medium and attached collage paper to the cover (allow this to dry fully).
Next, I watered down some Heavy Body Acrylic Paint to the cover, giving a transparent effect.
I also added a pink and blue stain to brighten up the cover.
Once the cover was fully dry, I added a layer of texture with the Soulful Scribbles Dots and Dash (L605) by Traci Bautista and 3D Gloss Gel.
Now, my journal is ready for some journaling, lettering, and doodles!
Thank you for following along!
Renee
