Ooh, this is a project and a half, isn’t it? Not one for
when you’re in a hurry or on a tight budget... but if you’ve got it, use it,
that’s my motto when it comes to craft supplies. Can you spot any sneak peek
items on this journal or do you need a clue?
There’s actually only one sneak peek image on there, and
it’s from a Sale-A-Bration set called Feeling Sentimental. It’s the penny
farthing on the top right, which I’ve stamped on to Fan Fair DSP. The
typewriter at the bottom is not a stamp at all; it’s printed on the Fan Fair
DSP, so I just tore a piece out and sponged around the edges. The tape measure
and the “hello” also come from this pack of DSP. The key is stamped using
Artistic Etchings.
There’s quite a bit of sponging on this project, including
on the label panel, which is cut out using the Apothecary Accents dies and
embossed using Lacy Brocade, before being sponged with some Sahara Sand and
Soft Suede ink, and Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint for a touch of glamour.
What else is on there? Ah yes, that lovely DSP in the
background. This is fab, fab, fab – it’s a speciality DSP called Natural
Composition and it’s embossed. So you get a kraft-coloured background with a
clear embossed image, in this case woodgrain. To make it stand out more, I
brayered the whole piece in Soft Suede, then wiped the embossed areas clean.

Love this card and so much more work than your used to putting on your cards. Nice to do occasionally though.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! I love how you used the images from the DSP to decorate your journal!
