Mini Journal


A few posts ago I mentioned I had always wanted to get some of Wendy Vecchi's Art Parts to alter. Well, I finally got my hands on some and here is my little journal. I love to use butterflies on a lot of projects, and this one was no exception. The Art Parts that I used were the small book covers, and I also used one of Tim Holtz's small ring binders on the inside.

For the cover, I used Tim's Kraft Resist paper, coloring it with Dusty Concord, Broken China, Peeled Paint and Wild Honey inks. The binding is Peeled Paint Distress Stain on Ranger's Stickyback Canvas. I found a few butterfly charms at the craft store, and I completed the cover with some Broken China-stained grungeboard letters.

I am entering this journal in the following challenges:
