Junk Journal January 2025 - Day 13 “Opaque”

Junk Journal January - Day 13 Prompt “Opaque” #artjournaling #creativechallenge #junkjournaljanuary
I am thrilled to be part of the collaborator line up for this year's Junk Journal January challenge, hosted by the lovely @MegJournals - I'm scheduled for Day 28.
Discover the magic of translucency in today's tutorial as we create a stunning flip cluster using opaque and semi-transparent elements. We're diving into Day 13 of Junk Journal January with the intriguing prompt "Opaque."
I have made a cluster that flips, featuring a wide snippet strip made from vellum, layered with beautiful ephemera from Pink Monarch Prints, adding depth and interest to the page. Learn how to incorporate faux stamped tickets for a vintage touch, and see how a carefully chosen quote brings the whole piece together.
This tutorial is perfect for junk journal enthusiasts looking to play with transparency and opacity in their designs. You'll learn techniques for working with vellum and creating interactive elements that add a whole new dimension to your journal pages.
Join me in exploring the captivating world of opaque and translucent materials in junk journaling. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share your opaque creations in the comments!

Beautiful 🤩 Flip Cluster!
You’re inspiring me to use various vellum papers & vellum embellishments for this opaque prompt.

[@donnamckittrick9501]

Love the cluster and the flip looks fantastic!😊❤️

[@ericastannard2635]

Hi Steph! I’m so glad you popped up today! This one was a little tricky for me to think about , so I really appreciate seeing how you used several layers & textures to suggest the idea of opacity! This is my first attempt at a true junk journal, it’s been really fun! I have subscribed & look forward to seeing what you’ve already done, as well as the rest of this challenge! Thank you so much! Erica❤

Hi Steph, I loved this prompt, you made such a pretty flip. I loved your quote too. My son had to show me how to get rid of full storage on my phone, I was so grateful to him. The stress was really bad. But I can join vids together now thank goodness. xxxx
