An old game called Probe has given me so much. The cards just have plain letters on them so they were just waiting for some color…The rub-ons were a very important step for me -the hoarder in me wanted to save them since I LOVE them.
My last post showed you how to use a transparency with straight lines. For this page I used the same technique to make wavy lines for journaling.
Start by slicing a transparency.
Use your finger to smear paint on it. The first one I did was cleaner – I immediately did the 2nd one and I like that look. I don’t clean the transparency off so what mess happens happens.
A leftover transparency made my black lines. Take an ordinary transparency. Notice this is a dirty, junky one. Use an Exacto knife to slice lines in it. 
Take paint and rub it around on top of the lines. 
Your paint will seep and be wonderfully splotchy in a random way.
Here are 3 that I did with just one application of paint. 
I then turned the stencil and did 3 more to create grids.
