Watch this 15-second video and then join me on Sunday (March 29) for my #JunqueJournal class @theinkpadnyc -- If you like the idea, but you can't come to class, check out the online version in my website (www.balzerdesigns.com). The in-person and online versions are different. (I don't like to duplicate content.). Most notably, they use two totally different binding methods. 👍 #artjournal

Hello and happy Thursday!  Another stencil technique coming your way today.  I made this scrapbook page...

...using my Snow Branch stencil and a Gelli Plate and I wanted to show you how very easy it is to do!

The "You Are Here" tag was created with my US Map stencil.  It has the compass and the words "You Are Here" along with the map.

Are you ready for the easy-peasey background technique?
