Multi Medium: Art Journal Page!
Happy Friday everyone! It’s Shari here with some inspiration to get you going for the weekend. I’ve created an art journal page… I know it doesn’t look easy, but I’ve kept things fairly basic for those of you who may be timid to start trying multi mediums.
If you break down the techniques, you’ll see how simple it really is. I started with Gesso to prime my card stock, then added in some embossing paste with the Building Hearts and Zig Zag Dots stencils.
My next step was to add color using Distress sprays and water. I wiped away some of the color with a baby wipe through the Moroccan Stencil to create a muted pattern.
I did a little bit of stamping and added some Prima Art glass glitter to my hearts and I was done! I’ve shot a video of the complete process. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel.

A beautiful journal page. you are truly an artist. Thank you for sharing your video.
Love the simple pop of color off that white background.
The mulit-medium art journal is truly a work of art. Like the muted colors. Like the embossing. Not tried gesso before.

Stunning project, just love the creativity and artsy design!!
Love seeing all the different techniques.
Thanks for sharing this beauty Shari! I have shied away from multi medium designs, but seeing this has changed my mind!
Gorgeous project. I love watching the entire process. When doing work on an individual sheet rather than in a journal, what do you then do with the project? Frame it?
Lovely! ;-)
BEAUTIFUL!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!! THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS Easter Weekend!! =)
I love the warm neutrals
This is gorgeous. I really love browns, you can never go wrong with that colour.
Shari, your project is so very lovely … and thank you so much for sharing the video … I am a visual crafter and prefer to watch a technique rather than read instructions … so thank you!
Awesome art journal page. I am fairly new to art journaling, and I love to see the techniques and designs others use on their pages.
Love the way the hearts are deconstructed. The coloring of the butterflies is wonderful.
thanks for sharing a great project.
Soooooo beautiful, Shari! LOVE THIS!!!
Shari, thanks for the video for this lovely project. I’ve been thinking of trying mixed medium techniques and your tutorial makes it seem like these techniques are within my reach. I’m ordering some embossing paste right away!
What a great idea to put the stencil back down when cleaning the color off the embossing paste! This is a beautiful journal page! Thanks for the ideas.
This is stunning! I love how you took away color with the stencil.
This is gorgeous!! I would love this framed and hanging on my wall! :) Beautiful work, making me want to try something new!

Cool! I’ve done a few art journal pages before but have never used your technique. I LIKE it. Thatnks for your demo.
