Wow what brilliant ideas. I was debating whether I needed the Dura-Lar this has convinced me I do. Kate has also done a class on the new Grafix mixed media journal available on Etsy.

Wonderful! I have missed watching you with your gel plate.

[@sibylleherbe8260]

This was awesome. Thank you.

[@mveigl1]

Stunning!!!

[@cathygreear2598]

Wow loved the transparency pages and the different looks!

[@EKsunny-d3u]

I never would've thought of writing onto plastic with a Stabilo all pencil ! And wow.. these turned out so beautiful!

[@rosem3577]

Truly lovely!!

[@artcocofolies]

Really lovely and beautiful techniques! Thanks you Kate!!

[@stephanieadams84]

Lots of great hints and tips there Kate! The transparencies really give you a chance to think differently about the pages. Thank you so much for doing a video. I agree with someone who said it would be lovely to do this as a workshop! ~ Stef x

Really intriguing - love the look of the transparencies with various backgrounds - VERY COOL!

What an amazing project you made with this journal. I will have to get it now. I bought some of the grafix clean and opaque 12 x 12 pages already and was wondering about using alcohol inks on them. I can't wait to play now. Thank you Kate. You're always so full of great ideas.

[@kathryncrane8317]

Thank you :-) And yes, Grafix Duralar is brilliant for alchohol inks!

[@marjolein1402]

Love the looks of this journal! I've got mine ready to go... just wondering if you use the paint on the transparent page, do you put it on the front or the back, or... is there no difference?

[@grafixarts]

You can use both sides or one, depends on the look you want and which way you want to see the image. Its your choice.

[@thekathrynwheel]

Make the most of both sides Marjolein. It's a great way to layer and create effects!
