- Use a pen or pencil to trace and transfer only the label shape into the center of the journal. Use a round brush to mix (1) part Titanium White with (1)part Cobalt Teal Hue. Use mix to fill in label shape and base coat the pencil.
- Then use a pen or pencil to trace and transfer the rest of the pattern. Use a round brush and liner brush to mix colors to paint the flowers and leaves on the journal and pencil.
- Then go back to add details on the flowers using lighter or darker details on journal and pencil.
- Use a liner brush to mix (2) parts Titanium White with a small amount of Napthol Red Light to outline the label shape. Then use the round brush with Titanium White to paint the quote on.
- Use similar colors to paint matching labels for your journal, print off either days of the week or months, matte medium, and a flat brush.
- Use a round brush to paint labels in the insides only.
- Use scissors to cut out words of choice in font of choice. Use a flat brush to adhere the words onto the painted labels with Matte Medium.
