Hi I am Sharon. June has arrived and it is the perfect time to be outside and create. You can make your own little travel journal .
I started with watercolor paper and cut to the size of the chipboard cover.
I use my scrapbook paper scraps to cover the chipboard . I used the Helmar Decoupage & Craft Paste and the handy little plastic tool. I love the smoothness of applying this glue and the paddle was great for spreading it where it needed to applied. I loved this product.
This little red paddle is just the tool to use to apply and smooth the paper on top of the glue. No wrinkles or bubbles, it make really smooth surface to work on .
This is the front cover of the Journal. I drilled holes in the chipboard and punched the holes in the watercolor paper fist. I used a stencil and crackle paste to make texture when it dried I used a mini mister and spayed colors on and wiped off with a babywipe or soft cloth. When it was dry I added the stamps to give it more texture and then dried and sprayed with the Helmar Crystal Kote Matte Varnish.
The back of the journal was Decoupaged the same as the front cover. I left it just with the paper and added some stamps and little gold corners.
I finished this journal by adding the elements to the front cover after I spread the great Helmar Decoupage and craft paste. I just layed the elements where I wanted them and pressed them with my fingers and they are stuck..
The finished Travel Journal. Size 4x6"
