This workshop is creative play at its best! Dig into your kids’ crayon box and grab the most unused crayon in there, a white crayon, for this art journal project. You will love the artistic play with this workshop! I have included the word art I used in the video as a FREE gift for you. Download link for it is under the last tab labeled Finished Photos & Free Download.

Close up of the crackle finish with the black paint added to show the details of the cracks.
Close-up of the rub ons, stamps and word art paper strip by Digizines by Teri. Notice the wonderful brush stroke texture left by the brushed on gesso.
Feel free to use those brads! They still make great accents for pages.
Layers of gesso, paint, crackle medium and rub-ons just add to texture and interest of the background. Also notice the close-up of the pen tracing around the word art. No need to be perfect!
Bingo frame cards – Love these! Distressed a little with some red and brown ink pads.
Same techniques without the gesso.
