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.

Beautiful art journal page. I love that it did not fully cover the paper and left some white area. I watched carefully and saw some techniques that will be helpful. Thanks so much.
Beautiful page. I love the color and textures.
Thank you Shary! I’ve learnt something new.
Beautiful page….I’m still a newbie at this technique and really appreciate your video!
Great how it looks delicate and still has all the layering!
The thing that strikes me most is the wiped background! Love it!
