Sunday morning chilling out on the sofa, I was watching a PaperArtsy YouTube video by Sara Naumann entitled Journal Cover Collage. The technique used stamping on tissue which has been a recent discovery for me with the alpha/dictionary project so I thought I would give this a try for the Craft Barn Two Weekly Challenge. The theme for the challenge is April Showers.
Here's a link to the YouTube video:

My entry for the challenge is a small journal book cover.
I used an Instagram photo image for the background, the stamps used on the tissue are from Inkylicious and the background dotty paper from Kaisercraft. I really like that ghostly effect the tissue over the picture makes. Do watch the Sara Naumann video to see how to do it.
PaperArtsy Frseco finish paint used was snowflake.
I added a few ribbons and threads from my stash plus a couple of tiny shrink plastic tags. Can you see them? They are tiny.
Now I have my empty journal book, what shall I put in it? Maybe some experiments.
Beautiful. Tissue paper does give a great effect. Softens everything.

ReplyDeleteGreat minds were obviously thinking alike when we used the same stamped image and sentiment for The Craft Barn challenge. :-) xx
