Today I am sharing some pix of a journal I made for the October tv shows.I don't know about you, but I find that if I try to plan a project out in detail, it always goes wrong - happened again with this journal! It's much safer to just play, get messy and inky and then see what i have got.
I used a Sizzix journal die, and had plans to create a mixed media holiday souvenir journal using all the stamps in the ephemera sets and some older seaside related sets.
The cover went ok, using kraft card as the base with lots of gesso and paint splodged on. and the beach huts stamped in the centre, with the journey word. I also used a mini photo from Creative Individuals
I ended up salvaging the better of the inner pages to create a slim journal - this one had another CI image, the beach huts again, ammonite stamp , sea shells and the travel ticket.I also used the chess stamps, the fountain scene, lighthouse and flower stamps to create the other pages.
I did have fun - sort of - and next time I won't bother planning it out!
Fantastic journal and can. Creative Blessings, Tracy x
ReplyDeleteFabulous projects!
ReplyDeleteWonderful ideas and although there were some things you weren't happy with all this you are showing here is fabulous Veronica and I love the lighthous in sepia with white highlights and the prettily coloured flowers, and I adore the beach huts, also the ammonite and the ephemera stamps look great too. x
