I am so happy of what I made today. This is beautiful journal for my niece. I thought adding her photo on the front will make it special. I envisioned this journal to be on the shades of pink, copper and gold, something pretty in pink. While I was doing the 3rd layer of paint color. I was no where near to what I would like it to be but I am glad I was able to pull it together. Textures added are lace and some cut outs from my cricut machine. I used matte gel medium to glue them on the journal. I prep them with gesso and added metallic colors on it. Flowers are all scrapbook embellishments and I added glass cabochons. I also added ribbon to complete the look of this journal. I think this journal turned out really pretty. Perfect gift for you a young lady.

After 2 days break, I finally created what I had in mind. A new journal cover design. This is my latest mixed media journal. It has shades of light purple, turquoise, copper, gold and silver. Texture used on this cover are parchment paper and heavy card board cut out from my cricut machine. Flowers, gears, lock, key and nameplate are all made of polymer clay. Base paint is gesso and then layered with metallic paint, sprayed with lindy stamp gang and layers of viva inca gold. I also painted the back cover, same shades to match the front. This turned out to be a good project. It was a lot of fun adding layers of paint and mist on it.
