Hi everyone and welcome to another Saturday Showcase, the Design Team's chance to share tutorials and products available from
The Funkie Junkie Boutique with you. Today I have some new Kraft Journal pages to share with you featuring backgrounds made with Dina Wakley Media Scribble Sticks. This kind of journaling with faces and lots of colour is new to me and has been so much fun to experiment with.
Let's get started with peeks at the finished pages before getting into looking at each one in more detail;
Here is the first journal spread in full, featuring a stamped lady from the 'Better Together' stamp set and words from the 'Be Willing' stamp set.
I started by laying down a blend of warm colours from the Scribble Sticks 2 set, making sure to apply lots of the dry paint onto the kraft card so that it would blend a little better when water was added in a few places. As a contrast torn pieces of music score were added over the top followed by some white gesso.
That layer of white over the colour helped the complimentary scraps of design tape and some contrasting stencilling to stand out more. I used one of the patterns from the 'Marks' stencil with 'Turquoise' acrylic paint for this.
Finally the scribbled circles, cut from one of the sheets in the 'Elements' Collage Paper pack, were added with gel medium and the words and lady were stamped on with permanent black ink. I extended the design by drawing in extra lines and adding more asemic writing. White gesso was used to paint in the top of the lady's head and I emphasised the colour running across her eyes by re-applying more 'Sedona' Scribble Stick.

Here is the second journal spread in full, featuring a stamped head from the 'Ledger Girls' stamp set and words from the 'Not Subtle' stamp set.
In much the same way as before I started by laying down a blend of cool colours from the Scribble Sticks 2 set before adding more torn pieces of music score over the top followed by some white gesso.
This time, after adding complimentary scraps of design tape over the top I applied white gesso through another of the patterns from the 'Marks' stencil. The three block design from the 'Be Willing' stamp set was stamped in places using 'Mulberry' Archival Ink and then I splattered contrasting 'Lemon' and 'Cheddar' paint from the Scribble Sticks over the top.
Be aware that Archival Ink will bleed through whatever is applied on top, including paint. I learned this after finding that it happened to the tags I applied over the top (cut from the 'Elements' Collage Paper pack and painted on the reverse with 'Sand' acrylic paint). To rectify this I simply re-stamped the blocks with the same ink over the top. The head and words were stamped onto tea stained heavyweight paper with black permanent ink before being cut out and mounted on top of the tags.

Here is the last journal spread in full, featuring a face from the 'Elements' Collage Paper pack and words from the 'Be Willing' stamp set.
For this final journal spread I tried something different, starting by applying a layer of white gesso onto the kraft card before adding lots of colour from the 'Lime' Scribble Stick on top. I found that the gesso made blending out the paint from the Scribble Stick with a little water much easier. As a contrast this time torn pieces of kraft wrapping paper were added over the top followed by more white gesso.
This time lots of different layers were added including vertical strips of masking tape, a horizontal line of stencilling using 'Evergreen' acrylic paint through the 'Bumps' stencil, a coordinating strip of design tape and a strip cut from one of the sheets in the 'Elements' Collage Paper pack. I drew on a zig zag line of faux stitching with a black pen and wrote some asemic script over the top of the whole background with a white pen.
To finish I splattered contrasting 'Sedona' and 'Marine' paint from the Scribble Sticks over the top. The Collage Paper head was painted on the reverse with 'Buff' acrylic paint and cut out before being applied over the background with some gel medium. I extended the design with more paint and a black pen before using the Scribble Sticks to add a little colour to the lips, cheeks and eyes. The words were stamped onto white card with permanent black ink before being added onto the background.
