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! ♥

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks.

I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between
