Gwen Lafleur has amazing tutorials on her faceboopk group. She has projects with tutorials and templates uploaded on the group for the members to view and try. I tried latest "Matchbook Mini" journal.
This was my first attempt with junk journal and I loved doing it. It is a tedious process unlike art journal or mixed media project since each page is project on its own. It was worth the effort and I was so happy the way it turned out.
I wanted to have focal images of red and orange throught the project with birds/flowers as the theme.
The project gave me the right oppurtunity to use graphic fairy images. I printed them on rough side of rice paper. Rice paper can be fussy cut and stuck to the project seamlessly, since these papers are thin and transucent when stuck they blend with background. You can even see the background text through the images, also they dont need to be sealed before use.
Below are the images of various pages of journal filled with collages ad paints. I am hooked to distreess crayons, they are so versatile and easy to use.
The lily was printed on rice paper and then stuck on to stamped background. You can see the image peeking through the petals.
Below background was done using distress crayons and washi tape. The flower was doodled and colored using posca and gelly roll pens.
My favorite of all is the Queen of flowers on the last page.
