Mixed Media Monthly – paint your truth

hello everyone!!

I can’t believe this is going to be my last post for this team. I have so enjoyed being inspired by all these great ladies and by meeting all the new folks out there that I otherwise probably wouldn’t have.

so for my final post I decided that I needed to create a little piece for myself to  continue my freedom of inspiration and using the Eileen Hull Wrapped Journal from Book Club 2 I created this:

basically I started out by using some of my newly acquired colorbox blends and just kept adding patches of colour to the matboard. once covered I just kept layering with more paint, stencils and some stamping with some archival ink

next I added some of the same paints onto my mat and then dabbed some paper into it.

I wanted to create some covers to go with the signatures I had made and stamped through out (who likes starting with a blank page after all right!!)

for the closure I had added an elastic cord through a button and then glued/taped/stuck that cord in behind the front piece so one can just slip it on and off at will

so once again, here you have my final submission to the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge.. please don’t forget to leave some love for all the team as you go through and see each of the submissions. as well don’t forget to play this final one for your chance to win the sought after passport die!!!

until next time my friends,

diana

    You really have made wonderful use of the ColorBox Blends, your cover is gorgeous Diana, I love the image too and what a clever way to make the closure (may have to ‘borrow’ that idea! Love this! Hugs, Anne xx

    Diana, this journal is so lovely, I really like the image that you used for the cover and those layers of color on the cover give it a nice depth! Thanks for sharing!
