Oh Bunny Journal by Liz Wheeler
11:00Hello Crafty Creatives!
I'm back from my little rest xxx
For today's blog project I've created a beautiful bunny travel journal using my Journal It Templates Set 2 and a mixture of rice papers and a faux leather base from Art by Marlene.
I started by drawing around the Travel Note template from my Journal It Set 2 onto the gold faux leather sheet and cut out the cover.
To add stability to the cover, I glued white card to the inside of the cover, and then to decorate I used Paper Designs Vintage Flowers rice paper with Pentart Decoupage Varnish and Glue.
Using the template to line up the binding holes, I poked through the cover to create enough holes for 3 signatures, then I used black elastic for the binding.
For the front of the cover I wanted to use the gorgeous rabbit rice papers from ITD. I used a small paintbrush with water to trace around the image, then let the water soak in a little to loosen the fibres of the rice paper then tore around it carefully to create a feather effect.
To ensure the image stood out on the cover, I traced round the shape lightly with pencil on the cover, then painted the area white with That's Crafty! Multi Surface Paint. Again using the Pentart Decoupage glue I adhered the rice paper bunny to the front cover.
I love making these shaped journals, especially as gifts. Happy Crafting!
