Description

This one of a kind journal was created using Canvascorpsbrands, Naturally Aged Kit - Rusty Metal Paint Kit. I used charms, chains, and other odds and ends to get the steampunk look and then applied the paint kit. Easy and fun

Instructions

  1. Small 112794 2f2016 01 08 144333 100 3208 5b1 5d

    Start with a journal, any kind of journal. This is a small moleskin one.

  2. Small 112794 2f2016 01 08 144450 100 3210 5b1 5d

    You're going to be layering the top, so start with some pictures or stamps. Be sure to thoroughly glue to the edges so they don't curl. I used a glue stick for this step.

  3. Small 112794 2f2016 01 08 144915 100 3213 5b1 5d

    Using the E6000 glue, start adding charms and beads. Is this enough? I don't think so. I'm going to keep adding more.

  4. Small 112794 2f2016 01 08 145048 100 3214 5b1 5d

    I'm starting to like it. I've added some chains and more beads and charms. I've also put some paper towels underneath it as now I'm going to use canvascorpsbrand naturally aged paint system.

  5. Small 112794 2f2016 01 08 145313 100 3215 5b1 5d

    I lightly spray the butternut squash glimmer mist over the whole face of the journal.

  6. Small 112794 2f2016 01 08 145443 100 3216 5b1 5d

    Next, I lightly spray the woven burlap glimmer mist in spots, not over the whole face.

  7. Small 112794 2f2016 01 08 145629 100 3217 5b1 5d

    The tattered leather glimmer mist is sprayed in over places not touched by the woven burlap mist. Finally, a light mist of the butternut squash. Let dry thoroughly.

    Here it is. I love the busy, cluttered steampunk look. Give it a try.
