Vintage art journal spread by Melina - process video

Hello!

It´s Melina here, and today I share the process of making this art journal spread.
I´m working in my handmade, coptic stitched journal.


I used Beautiful Bugs and the quote is from Something Wonderful stamp set.
I also used pattern paper and script paper, gesso and watercolour.





Here´s the process video:

Thanks for stopping by today!

This is so cool and adorable! Lovely combination of printed images and stamps. Love the size of your art journal - maybe a smaller one would have me do it more often than having to fill large pages, since I'm used to making cards about that size.
Thank you for the video tut! ♥

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

Klikk her for info på norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English
