Once I mixed the paint (Quinacridone Gold & Diarylide Yellow) I painted both sides of the greyboard.

 Taking a stamp I edged both sides of each cover.

This I did on each of the 3 panels I used. I then glued the images for the front and back covers on. The third image was glued onto Kraft Card that had been cut to the same size as the inner pages (a quarter of an inch smaller than the covers) For the pages I used a smooth white card.

Using Distress Oxides and mini stencils I decorated the pages. I used a combination of Tea Dye and Spiced Marmalade. I edged the pages in the same colour.

On the inside front cover I made a belly band with the left over greyboard. I added a sticker by 13 Arts. I used a sticky foam pad to attach the band to the cover allowing a little gap for a tag to fit through.

I used parts from the small greyboard cog sheet and long fastenings (brads) and glued them onto the belly band (see below), then I added a tag.

I cut some calico to fit the front of the pocket and stencilled a border design from StencilGirl on the top and bottom using Quinacridone Gold paint.

 Using double sided tape I stuck the calico onto the pocket and added two tags.

Taking one of the stickers from the Aqua-flora range stickers, I mounted it onto a left over piece of Kraft card, inked around the edges and stuck it in place using sticky foam pads. I glued the nib in place to complete the cover.

 Below are a few of the finished pages of the journal.
