July Challenge by Sass

Vintage Journal Cover

Hello and Welcome,

My name is Sass and I have started a new journey as a Store Ambassador for Random Arts Pty Ltd.  Random Arts Pty Ltd is a new Australian owned and operated Art and Craft On-Line Store. Each month we will be given a mood board for that month. We are to use this board to help create a project using products from the shop. 
... this is the process I used to get this Journal cover done using this
months mood board... July 2019
All the details regarding the Moodboard Challenge are Here

This is my first blog post, and this is the process I used...​

I started with the
Kaisercraft Kraft A4 Journal.
I loved the colour and size of this journal.

Then I added some texture with Liquitex Gesso and a simple stencil.​

I then painted over the whole
thing with Gesso.

I decided to add a few more Chipboard pieces and another piece of
braid to the top.

I then added some Flowers, lace, chipboard pieces and braid to two sides with a hot glue gun. I didn't pay much attention to colour as I knew I was to cover it all up with Gesso.

Here I covered the whole cover
with White Gesso.

Finishing touches:

I added Lindy's Magical Shakers in: 
Grab a Guy Gold
Cowagunga Copper
Alpine Ice Rose
Bratwurst Brown
​
I finished it off by rubbing a small amount of Gold Acrylic Paint onto the Braid, Frame, and Chipboard pieces.

And please, also join the
Random Arts Creative Group...
it is full to the brim
with the most Lovely
and Inspiring members,
anyone could hope to meet.
