Finishing
up the series on art journaling, I’m sharing this very simple page made with
elements from the Spellbinders®, Media Mixáge™ and A Guilded Life lines. In
this tutorial, I share how to letter press and create a page in about 20-30
minutes.
In case you don't have these exact shapes not to worry. I encourage you to explore beyond and draw your own shapes - just a rectangle with a rounded corner on opposite ends. I know you'll be proud of what you accomplish.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this series and learning all the techniques and can’t wait to see what you create with them!!
