Using the stencils from my shop, see how they are used to create Gel Prints that are used as pages for the Envelope Junk Journal. By adding various stamps you can add a personal touch to your pages; like the Bline Designs Stamps from my shop, the Garden Friends, the Small Butterfly and the Journal Quartet.
Spraying Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and using various stencils add unique designs to the pages of the Envelope Junk Journal.
