A lot of the more eye-catching Moleskine spreads I see on Flickr use acrylics, so I finally decided to try it myself. This is actually a "proof of concept" piece - I'm going to make a postcard with a similar design.
I'm pretty happy with the results, although when I make the postcard version of this I'm going to stamp the sansrkit in the middle in gold ink instead of using image transfer.
Acrylic makes the pages of a sketchbook Moleskine curl a bit, and you need to spray some fixative to keep the pages from sticking when you're done, but it seems to work pretty well. I'm going to read up on acrylic techniques and play with the medium more in the future.
