Painting Black and White Journal Cover - NEW Stencils

There is something special about starting a new journal - pristine and full of possibilities. Adding black and white pattern with paint to a brown craft colored cover is easy and gives just the right amount of light, medium and dark contrast to make a dramatic statement that invites creative exploration. The cover is finished off with outlining the designs with a extra-fine Posca pen and lettering first written in pencil and then gone over with a black.Here is a video showing how I've use the new stencils I've designed for StencilGirl Products® to paint the cover of a Ranger Journal
