Curiosity...Mini Inspirational Journal with Simona

Hello everyone and happy Sunday! I'm Simona  and I want to show you my latest project for Scrap & Craft DT...a Mini Inspirational Journal...
I have decided to create this little Art Journal in order to store in one place those pieces of cardstock that I use to practice new techniques or test new products...Then the idea to add a lovely quote to each page turned this 'practice journal' into an Inspirational Art Journal !
The structure itself is really basic...used black thick cardstock as a base for each page, then cut a 1" wide piece of cardstock and scored in half to create an hinge...everytime I have a new page I simply stick it to the black cardstock with double sided tape, and add a new hinge. Easy peasy!

To create this grungy and yet romantic little spread I added texture and interest with stamping, stenciling and washi tape...used brown and black inks to add depth, then splashes of white to highlight. Added a couple of die cut gears and the  beautiful MiszMasz Daisy frame chipboard that I have embossed with new embossing powders from my stash.
Stamped the focal image onto a sheet of Cherry Blossom 6x6 paper, distressed the edges and added shadows and colour with markers.

These are the supplies used from SCRAP & CRAFT STORE:

- Studio75 Cherry Blossom 12x12 paper set

- Studio75 Cherry Blossom 6x6 paper set

- Studio75 Zigzag small stencil

- MiszMasz Daisy frame die cut chipboard

- Agateria 'Grille 3' stamp

That's it...hope you enjoyed this project... See you next time!
Kisses&Hugs!
Simo.
