SCRAP 'N STAMP~ Gelli Print Journal

Good Morning Crafty friends!! I'm uber excited to share with you that I'm now a DT Gal for 

Woohoo!! They carry such an array of Crafty Goodness!! Be sure to check them out as there's something for everyone! ;o)

I was playing with my Gelli Plate, Stencils and Dylusions paints and had quite a few prints....so I decided to create a lil' 4.5'x5.5' Art Journal. I simply cut the sheets to my desired size and folded them in half using my Scor-board. 

I then adhered the back sides of each page using Be Creative Tape. Once I had the book, I used Matte Medium and Duct Tape for the binding along with some fun Jane Davenport Washi Tape. I then used Cut out covers from another sheet of Gelli Prints and adhered to the Journal using my 3M Tape gun and Matte Medium. 

I then watercolored the Penny Black "Portrait" Image using Distress Inks and waterbrush. SNS has a few Gorgeous Girls you can substitute for the Portrait Stamp, like Angelette, Grace and Isabelle.  I then decorated my Cover using  Prima Butterflies, TH Script Stamp in Archival Inks- Carnation Red, Tea Rose, Shadow Grey and Jet Black. I then added some doodles using White and Post Box Red Dylusions Paint Pens. I adhered the Prima Butterflies using My Zig Glue Pen. 

Here are some samples of my inside pages that are just waiting for my imagination to fill them up!

I found having the backgrounds already done, helps when I want to create but don't have a lot of time or am just wanting to try a new image or technique. :o)

Again, I'm so excited to be on this Design team with these Amazing girls!
