CJS 2014 - Journal Cover (art journal)

Hello!

 

Today I am uploading a picture of this journal cover I just finished.  I took advantage of a video tutorial from Creative Jump Start 2014.  The label is created using the Joint Compound idea from Dina Wakely ... that was a ton of fun!!  And I used joint compound on the whole book cover, then stamped it with a harlequin image.  Then I went to town with my Twinkling H2Os by Luminarte and a few acrylic paints.  The H2Os give it a great sparkle in real life that do not show up in this picture. 

 

Twinkling H2Os are one of my favourite products!   And there is a give away ... so I am totally crossing my fingers!!!

 

 

 

I used some grungeboard "hinges" (Ranger) that I painted dark brown and then covered with some rock candy crackle paint (Ranger).  The clock face and key hole images are from smARTworks (who I see are now closed).  You might also note a neat little addition ... snaps ... the ones you use to keep skirts closed. 

 

Well, off to play more in my art journal!

Skulls and Birthdays

Pulled out my Picket Fence Crackle Paint (Ranger) to paint this Grundgeboard Skull (Idea-ology).   It also uses Bitty Grundge stamp set (Stampers Anonymous, T!m Holtz)

I added some dots using a piece of bubble wrap and gesso (I have done this before on THIS card too!) and the sentiment is one from Unity.

Someone grungy will enjoy this card.

Thanks for dropping by for a visit.
