How I turn old book pages into focal points for junk journaling

A little while ago Amy at Crafty Cat released a video about creating simple springtime cards, I’ll link it below, after I watched the video it inspired me to try out one of my mixed media techniques on book pages. It was very successful and a great way to use up your glueing pages or pages from a gutted book.
WARNING, if your paint is too wet or you sponge on too much paint your pages are likely to ripple and distort so make sure you dab the excess paint off your sponge before painting your book page, also paints of a thicker consistency cause less problems.

I am thrilled to have found you! So glad you did that collaboration with P.M. Studio. This technique is brilliant. Thanks for flipping through the box. I got very excited to see the gold shapes. As you say they would be perfect for adding a bit of opulence. TFS. 🥰🙏

Hauser is the name of Priscilla Hauser, a well known decorative painter who often appeared on HGTV years ago when they focused on craft shows. She also published books on the art and was featured in many craft magazines in the US. I think she was credited with 'creating' the shade of green that got her name. I was fortunate to take one of her classes years ago in Oklahoma.

What a unique way to add another dimension to a journal. The possibilities are endless! Came across some fab stencils in a charity shop a good while back. They are for stencilling patterns, with icing sugar, or whatever, on top of cakes. Your wonderful idea will have me spending a few happy hours using them. Thank you so much Ceri. Keep up the good work. Love from Ireland.

Love this idea! Also, Hauser green is named after Priscilla Hauser who is an American decorative painter who was very popular decades ago.
