Jelly Plate Print in Mixed Media Journal

Open your mixed media journal to a watercolour paper page.

Take a previously used jelly plate print (a ghost print) and place it onto the watercolour page of your journal.

Select a stencil such as a raindrops pattern and position it on the journal page.

Add a small amount of paint to the jelly plate and apply the stencil pattern onto the page.

Allow the paint to dry completely on the journal page.

Use a watercolour pencil to draw around the edges of your printed design to define and enhance it.

Dip a wet brush into water and drag it across the watercolour pencil marks to create a watercolour wash effect.

Add decorative elements such as small coloured and cut-out embellishments on top of the background.

Use a white gel pen to outline and highlight key elements of your design for extra pop and definition.
