Altered Distressed Prima Journal Cover

posted on: 12.29.2012

Hello world! I have a project I think is totally amazing to share with you today. I felt like creating last night and so I did. I created this altered Prima journal (journal found here). I actually plan on doing quite a few of the pages on the inside, I will share them as I work on them. Would you like me to create videos of the creation of the inside pages?

Alrighty, So I used quite a few Prima and Tim Holtz products while creating this book. All of the sprays are from Tim Holtz. They are the color washes I believe? All of the Prima products will be linked at the bottom of this post (all available in my shop). I also used some gesso and matte medium by Claudine Helmuth.

  2. Totally LOVE it! I would love a video on how to make the cover. I am a cardmaker and I am trying to get into the mixed media side of papercrafts.

    Thanks for all your inspiration.

    I use Fabri-tac! I also used quite a bit of matte medium which cemented everything down.
