Journaling on busy backgrounds.

I use paint:
Or I change the font color to one that stands out: Or use Julie's Paint Wash: Or I journal directly on it - and use the pattern as a guide: That's what I've done

here's some of mine. I have a passion for busy backgrounds and lots o' journaling.
I really like using paper strips when it's something I don't REALLY want people to read, I just chuck it on there a little journaling card and lastly...I just make the font dark enough so you can see it LOL

I will often type my journaling and then select it with a feather of like 20 px and then on a new layer below I put a shape with the background color and lower the opacity until I like the look.

Um...it turns out I don't really journal right on busy backgrounds.
The last time I even journaled right on a patterned background was this one back in March and even it is not super busy: oh! And I guess I used paint, too.

I rarely journal right on a busy paper, but if I do, I use paint underneath it so it stands out. I also add a journal card or tuck it on a plain piece of paper.

I use a darker font
[IMG]https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/data/500/04_22_13Love.jpg[/IMG] sometimes I just make the font bigger I also change my ffont color light if it is a darker background |

Sometimes I make all or part of the background lighter by overlaying another paper on it.
Other times I just make my sentiment really big. Like, title-sized big. And I throw in some WA as part of my journaling to make it stand out more. I'm also with others who journal on a card or on top of paint, and make sure I'm adding as much contrast as I can.

I avoid the background and journal on a photo:
or a journal card: or a paper strip: or lots of paper strips: But if I want to go right on the busy paper, I'll find a less busy part to journal on: or I put a glow or stroke on the text (I know it doesn't look like much, but at full-size I swear this is totally legible! I am way too anal to make it not be, ha!) up closer: I've also used blends, paints, and masks but I don't have any examples to show off. Maybe soon.

I use paint a lot as well.
On this one I think I just made a white rectangle in my scrapping software (I may have used white paper not 100% certain) and then just made it a bit transparent so that the pattern shows through just a little bit.
