Tear the tissue paper of assorted colors into strips.
Using a 1" flat brush, apply a coat of Americana Paper Decou-Page to a small area of the journal cover. Apply strips of tissue paper randomly. Apply another coat of Decou-Page on top of the tissue paper. Repeat until the entire journal is covered.
Position the stencil as desired (shown: Americana Pixelated Stencil). Using a cosmetic sponge, apply Carbon Black. Reposition the stencil as necessary to achieve the desired look.
