Step 8: Find this quote or a quote of your choosing from the Bigger Back Chat Stickers Set 3 White. This one says “Once upon a time, I didn’t care. The end.” Back this onto black paper as well and cut it out.

Step 9: Glue your image and quote down onto your journal page. See how the black makes it pop against the page?

Now maybe you could do another page where you fill in the diamonds/triangles with shimmer paint and do the checker board pattern in the circles! Give it a try!
