My Journal by Donna Gray
11:00Hi everyone,
It's Donna here today and I thought I'd show you the photos of my journal that I made for the May Hochanda shows with the new A5 Journal Kit from That's Crafty! which is just fab.
There's a lot of photos so I'm not going to do a step by step as I would be here all day but I thought it would give you an idea about what you can create with the kit.....which is anything you like basically!!
 |
| The background is black gesso and Multi Surface Paints. |
 |
| The butterfly is created by using the Flat Matte Sprays on a piece of the linen paper in the kit. |
 |
| The background on the left was created by using the Deli paper on the Gelli plate. |
 |
| The page on the left was created by tracing through the daisy stencil and then using Posca pens to colour in. |
 |
| Another Gelli print with the Deli paper on the left this time using the butterfly stencil to trace through. |
 |
| The page on the right was created using the Flat Matte Sprays as a water colour for colouring. |
 |
| The rice paper on the right goes almost translucent when the Emerald Creek Beeswax Embossing powder is used on it. |
 |
| The Finches stencil is so versatile. |
 |
| I used the crackle glaze on the page on the right for an aged effect. |
 |
| I dyed the Calico on the right with a Flat Matte spray. |
 |
| Using a white Posca pen with the stencils on a black background adds to the drama. |
 |
| Yes finally we've come to the end and this page is created using the keys stencil. |
