Today I am showcasing the fabulous Wrap Around Journal Die. You can view the whole Book Club 2 Collection HERE. The Wrap Around Journal Die
is a Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die which means you can cut almost any
material with this die, it's fantastic and so versatile. Those of you in
the UK can pre order this die from Country View Crafts HERE. I also used the Journaling Words across the front of my Journal to add a further layer of interest.
Eileen sent me this fabric/leather esque type piece and to begin with I highlighted all the embossed design with Wax which worked perfectly to showcase the texture.
I also incorporated Eileen's Stitchy Flower & Leaf using both the flowers and leaf. I coloured the flower and leaf with Distress Inks and then added some wax around the edges of each. I also incorporated some of the hearts from the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set - Journaling Cards, Hearts.
I machine stitched the covers and also added some vintage book pages to the inside cover and also added some watercolour pages which I tea stained.
I also added a shaker to the front of my journal for an added dimensional piece, adding some of the die cut hearts to the centre along with some sequins.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Pop by Eileen's Blog to see some further inspiration from my fellow Design Team Members.
