That's Crafty!: That's Crafty! Surfaces White/Greyboard A6 Journal with Acrylic Cover

Hi!

It´s Melina here today sharing this mixed media journal cover with you.

More pages in this little white/greyboard journal will follow.

Today my blog post is more of an inspirational one rather than a full step-by-step tutorial.

I made this on The Paper Crafting (scandinavian edition) World Scrapbooking Day cyber crop event

a few days ago. I was one of the cyber crop ambassadors, and That´s Crafty! was one of the generous sponsors. I used a lot of That´s Crafty! own brand products on this one and thought it would be fun to share it here with you today.

Here´s what I did:

I start to adhere a piece of gelli printed paper to a That´s Crafty! A6 size white/greyboard page.

I use That´s Crafty! Light Texture Paste through the Mandala Stencil TC8014.

I add a piece of cheese cloth, a piece of chipboard and white paper roses. I make some background stamping to the right side of the page using a script stamp from Rubber Dance.

I use one of the white/greyboard butterfly matches and paint it using a mix of Bright Magenta and White Multi Surface Paint. When dry I stamp the butterfly from the Doodled Butterflies and Leaves stamp set and heat emboss it using gold embossing powder.

I dilute some Bright Magenta paint with water in a spray bottle and spray the flowers. I also make splatters to the page using the Bright Magenta again and also with Metallic Gold Multi Surface Paint to match the details of the butterfly.

I add quote stickers from Tim Holtz and some glass beads and my cover is finished.
