Morning everyone, thank you for popping in. I’m squeezing this post in before the children wake up. We are having a bbq today to celebrate my grandson’s 16th birthday so it will soon be full on here, getting ready. just recently I played with lots of the new acrylic substrates released by That’s Crafty. Today I’m going to share a journal. It has 3 acrylic pages and the MDF front and back.
The front page
Crackle medium, Finnabair melange Art Pebbles and Art Alchemy Mettalic Acrylic.
Page 1
Everything Art stamps, from Paper Artsy plus a sanscript stamp in the background. Dina Wakley Media Line, paints
Page two
I used a paper first to cover the working of the other side. That’s Crafty New stencil and Grunge Paste from that Paper Artsy. I used stencils and Archival Ink on the background. Sanded down the Grunge Paste to bring back the white which actually looked like Ivory once finished.
Next page
This one I painted, I have some steps to show the process.
In this one you can just see how I stamped the leafs from Sara Newman ESN20 and butterfly HP1203 both from Paper Artsy.
Fresco Acrylic Paint -Paper Artsy.
The background is filled with foil flakes and lastly paper from Prima.
Simple page using DecoArt plumb I drew the cat. I had to wait until this was dry (overnight) I then used That’s Crafty Stencils and drew round them, like in the old days lol. Waited for these to dry and then filled it in with glazes from DecoArt.
Well I had to didn’t I, wouldn’t be mine unless there was a girl.

Fabulous experiments! I love the texture on the cover and all of your pages, but of course the first one is my favourite. Great layering of our stamps! Thank you so much for sharing!
