Using Calico Collage Digital Images, a large variety of Rubber stamps, with Stencils, Linda shows us how to make a masculine junk journal.
Trimming paper to fit on a book page, Linda used the Connected Gears Stencil with the Walnut Gold Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists to add color. Here’s a tip for you, put a smaller page on top of a larger sheet, you can spray both with the Walnut Gold, so you will then have two pages you can be used in your journal.
Adding Gentlemen Quotes by Calico Collage with the Hemisphere and Textured Edges Stamps. Linda stamped all around the edges of the page,
Creating a border with the Connected Gears Stencil, Linda stamped the Large Nibs and #2 Pencil rubber stamps. This is another technique you can do using your stencils, they don’t have to go over the entire page all of the time.
Taking pages from a special edition dictionary that are perfect for the following journal page, Linda combined 7 Gypsies Ephemera, several B Line Designs Stamps. She also used the My Gentleman and Route 66 digital journal kits by Calico Collage with book pages, and a gel print strip
Showing how to add layers to create a collage journal page with plenty of writing space, Linda took Gentlemen Quotes, coffee stained paper, elements from 7gypsies, and Route 66 with various rubber stamps by Bline Designs.
Having two
separate pages you can join them together using washi tape, it’s not
only decorative but gives strength to the seam edge for binding. 
Another way to join loose pages together is to take strips of book pages and adhere them together.
Showing a technique to coffee dyed paper, Linda used the Wonky Gears stencil and walnut stain ink, she then stamped with archival ink using the Clocked out rubber stamp on all sides of the journal page.
Using the Bingo Stamp to create a tuck spot Linda took red washi tape and then stamped over it with the textured edges stamp to give it a fun textured look.
Create collage pages using a variety of elements is a lot of fun! How will you create your Masculine Journal pages?
