This is the cover I made with my A4 That’s Crafty! Journal. The inside pages are mainly flower based so I wanted something that contrasted with that.

First of all I gave my page a coat of gesso. 

Next I stencilled all of the Word Series stencils over the page using Archival Sienna ink.

Next I stamped the fern from the Fleur set in Watering can randomly.

I dotted spots of the pink, lemon and orange paints around my page and blended with a baby wipe keeping areas of distinct colour and areas of blended colour.

Next I used the patterned parts of the Word series Stencils with orange, pink and white paint.

I used the black paint though the Create Stencil and underneath stamped the phrase from the Inspirational Stamp set in Versamark and embossed in black embossing powder. 

I tool 3 small circles from the acrylic shapes pack and smeared Glossy Accents on them and stuck them to some text paper. When dry I cut around the text paper and stuck them to my page again with Glossy Accents.

As final touches I ran some black paint around the edge and added areas of crackle glaze for texture.
