Art journaling can take many forms...it doesn't always have to be in a big book with loads of paint and technique. Today, I created a little metal art journal...you can use this tiny little heart journal to tell your story or share your personal memories. I think it's really cool.
For the covers of this journal I used Spellbinders Media Mixage Hearts Three Blanks, they can be manipulated with inks and embossing powders. I textured them withSpellbinders Artisan X-plorer and Spellbinders Media Mixage Texture Plate Crackle.
Then created resin paper with Spellbinders Media Mixage Ephemera Papers One
and Susan Lenart Kazmer ICE Resin, and die cut the paper with Spellbinders Dies that match the metal blanks.
I punched holes in each page of the journal then threaded them together with a piece of antique sari fabric from Nepal.
You can use each page of the journal to tell part of your story in a way that is artful and inspired. You'll wear your heart journal or use it as an embellishment for a handmade card, layout, or mixed media project...there are lots of ways to share your story, each inspired and different.
...get inspired with Spellbinders Media Mixage and discover new ways to Explore Beyond.
I love this little heart journal and I honestly, I am inspired to make another...
thanks for stopping by today...go create something beautiful.
