Mixed Media Art Journal Layout
More to share from my mixed media ‘Tea’ themed art journal. This background was fun for me to make. The background texture was made using a stencil and Semi -Gloss Gel Medium. I added the gel medium after covering the book pages with a gesso wash. By adding a little silver Distress Stain over top the semi-gloss gel it adds a nice shimmer effect.
Yummy texture, right?
Mason Jar Love
Aren’t these Mason jars adorable? I store loose tea in mason jars so I thought these would be fitting in my ‘Tea’ journal. In fact, I store almost everything in mason jars….homemade kombucha, sauerkraut, pickles, leftover food, you name it. What neat ideas have you come up with or seen for Mason jars?

Lovely journal layout! I use mason jars for storing dried herbs from my garden, for flower vases, and for keeping buttons and beads in. I love seeing rows of mason jars in the pantry with homemade jams and relishes.
I store herbs from the garden in Mason jars as well…so Fun! I love all your great ideas for storing things. I will have to give the flower vase idea a try! Thanks for sharing, Kristah.
So many fabulous details and a great grungy background -such a lovely page.
