General Process Used for Art Journalling:

(The intent was to build multiple layers with stamps, stencils, die cuts and washi tapes without making the journal pages too bulky)

1. Prepared the base with white gesso 

2. For texture, applied modelling paste through different PABD stencils 

3. Once the paste was dry, added colors using acrylic paints, sprays and inks. Created drips and movement by spraying on water 

4. Added background stamping with archival ink using PABD stamps

5. Added die cuts (colored using inks and sprays). These were die cut from various PABD dies

6. To further build the background, did background stenciling with PABD stencils & archival inks

7. A few strips of PABD washi tapes were added to the compositions for interest. Also, added some thread and a few embellishments like stars in one of the pages

8. Did some doodling & journalling with a black pen

9. In the end, created splatter with ink and water down white gesso
