Mindful Monday with The Night Owl by Jo Rice

Hi everyone, Jo from the design team here again, thanks so much for joining me today. We are going to continue our Journaling journey and have great fun creating another page. 

This time we are going to use a small piece of artwork and extend the design to fill the page. 

We will add extra interest with a couple of stencils, some washi tape and a beautiful sentiment. Then it will be finished off with some sparkle from our Sprinkle-It powder. 

So, get comfortable, get yourselves a brew and let’s begin.

Inspiration by Eleana Evans

Hello everyone, its Eleana here from the Design Team.

I thought it would be fun to have a play using the texture paste today. So, I brought an A5 hardback notebook whilst I was out shopping. It had a plain cover, and I thought it would be perfect to decorate.

We are going to be using the texture paste with a stencil and using a heat gun to speed up the drying process, before using the acrylic sprays to add colour.

Lavinia Stamps have some fabulous stickers to create some interest to our cover. Over the round stickers I will use some glossy accents to make them look like they are enamelled.

I hope you can join me and that it gives you some inspiration. Happy Crafting to you all. xx
