  Step 2

  1. & 2. Mark and cut your magazine in half with a band saw
  *I prefer a band saw to a jigsaw because it's easier to control the magazine
  3. & 4. Drill holes at the binding 1" from each edge and then thread and tie ribbon in a bow or knot
  *This keeps the pages from falling out
  5. Coat each page in Citri Solv to dissolve the ink a little
  6. While wet, close the journal and let sit for about 20 minutes
  *When you open the journal your pages will look mottled and marbled!
  7. When the pages are dry I like to stamp them with Art Foamies using Americana Acrylic Paints
  *Americana Acrylics dry matte so they're perfect for glossy pages (no stick)
  8. & 9. I create ombre effects by blending paint on the Stamp Buddy and then carefully pressing my Art Foamies into the mixture
  10. Next I embellish the pages any way I want
  11. & 12. Go crazy with different Art Foamies designs and paint away!
