Step 2: Cut out the circle shape. The easiest way to do this is to poke a hole in the center and then cut around your stencil line.

Step 5: Using the Gel Medium, glue a Chipboard bird to the top edge of your circle and another to your other page. Glue your face focal image down to your under page on the right-hand edge so that it will create a contrast to your bird.

Step 6: Cut out your text into individual words. Staple the first part of your phrase to the beak of the bird with a Tiny Attacher. This will create even more depth to your spread.

Hello! My name is Megan Whisner Quinlan. I am a mixed media artist and bookmaker. I began my art journey making my own books and altered to journals to use for writing. After taking a long break, I came back to art journaling and decided to really try everything that interested me. It was about 6 years ago that I fully began working in mixed media and art journals. I haven’t looked back. If you are inspired by my project, please tag me on Instagram. I would love to see what you create!
