{"product_id":"pastel-paradise-journal-project","title":"Pastel Paradise Journal Project by Sarah Donawerth","description":"\u003cp\u003eI hate to wait for paint to dry. I mean, I really hate it. I fixed this problem while art journaling by using a heat tool, but sitting there with a heat tool isn’t exactly my idea of a good time. Plus, I melted a huge dent into my craft table one day when I was multi-tasking while using the heat tool. Lesson learned. This journal was created so that I would have something to do while the other project dried. I now have many art journals, working in rotation, so that I never have to wait for paint to dry ever again.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003ePastel Paradise Journal Directions:\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eMix each color of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/paints?page=2\"\u003eMilk Paint\u003c\/a\u003e with warm water in equal parts.
