My Journal – Created for Linnie Blooms
Here is my latest project featuring Linnie
Blooms canvas shapes and a composition book.
I usually pick up several composition books each
year during the back to schools sales. This one was the basic black and white.
It’s now a bright, happy butterfly themed journal ready to be logged with all
sorts of creative thoughts and ideas. I
love journals; I have art and written journals, as well as, one just for
creative ideas or projects.
I really enjoy using Linnie Blooms canvas shapes
in my projects. The rough edges add great
texture and dimension. The butterflies
were first painted using watercolor crayons. I then added a butterfly transfer
to each one in black.
The background of the journal is a piece of
patterned butterfly paper that was then painted with white paint using a
brayer. I also added vintage ephemera scraps, and some washi tape. The words
were done using rub-ons, stickers and cut with a silhouette cutter.
It was a
fun project and I’m looking forward to receiving new shapes soon.
Happy Creating!!
XO, Cheryl
