Mixed Media Journal Cover

Hello, dear crafty friends! Vishu here today popping in to share a Mixed Media Journal Cover I up-cycled with Ann Butler products. We have a theme this month and its Fabric……….love it.

This was a fun project and I really enjoyed it. I made this for my daughter as she always keeps drawing/ coloring on papers and then leaves them everywhere 🙂 so I decided to give her this journal so all her artwork can stay in one place, had to decorate and personalize it so she actually uses it 🙂

Products Used:

Ann Butler Designs 1″ Diamonds & Plaid by Unity Stamp

Colorbox Crafter’s Ink by Ann Butler Berry, Limelight, Black

Ann Butler Designs Iridescent – Pink

Ann Butler’s Flourishes 2″ ABC stamp set

Canvas Penants by Canvas Corp, white acylic paint, rhinestone, lace and paper flowers

I had this burlap covered journal in my stash, so first I stamped the diamond design stamp using black ink at the edge, added some rhinestone and lace. Then using acrylic paint I just randomly painted. I also cut flower shapes with the canvas penants and colored them using colorbox crafter’s ink in berry and green. First I just dipped the canvas in the inkpad, then sprayed some water and rubbed the color with my hands.

The rest of the cover came together pretty quickly, first I colored with the iridescent ink in pink over the white, while it was drying i assembled my flower together. I glued all my flowers and then stamped the name using Ann Butler’s 2″ flourishes stamp set. here is a closer look.
