Create your own art journal using the lovely Moleskine journals, stencils and beautiful faces all available in the Paper Whimsy shoppe. I loved using the stencils because they are so versatile (altered canvas, books, cards) and the technique is so simple. I would love to see pages you have created with these projects, and hope you will share with me!
Technique:
(1) Paint the background of your Moleskine journal page using colors that coordinate well with each other. You will be building up your layers.
(2) Add journal tags to sections of page with matte gel medium. Add Beautiful face image to page with matte gel medium.
(3) Using stencil templates dab paint around images and pages building layers and color dimension. I did several layers of different paints.
(4) Add accents (flowers and birds) to page. Add stickles to center. Add word art.
Supplies:
All supplies available at Paper Whimsy…you can click on an image below and will be taken into the shoppe.

Morning Nancy! It’s always an honor to have you visit my blog. I’m coming back here to this post for the tutorial–this is something I need help with so thanks for the lesson.
beautiful work, nancy!!
Beautiful journal pages. Happy belated birthday. I will be 46 next Sunday. It’s always a holiday here because Kuwait celebrations their National/Liberation Days on the 25th and 26th — this year we have a 4-day weekend. :) Congrats on quitting smoking cold turkey. My ex-mother-in-law did that many years ago and she stuck with it, especially after seeing a pamphlet that showed what smoking does to your lungs. You stay strong and keep keeping on! Best wishes, Tammy
I meant celebrates not celebrations — it’s bedtime. I gotta hit the hay. Goodnite!
I love all of the colors, layers and textures – so pretty! I have always wanted to make an art journal. Thanks for linking all of the supplies. Hope you are having a wonderful day! xxoo
Gorgeous book Nancy! I have to finish a baby quilt before I start anything else, but I’ll soon be able to work on some of these great tutorials you have on your posts. TFS!
Hi dear Nancy,
your journal pages are stunning!!Love your color choice too.
Stay warm and have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs,

Oh dear Nancy, how could I have missed this post, I don`t know. So beautiful little journals, and the stensils you used are fantastic- I have to go look after one, I think. What a gredat technique Nancy- very exiting.
Hugs and kisses, Dorthe
