Spring Blooms

 Hi guys, I thought today I'd show you a Journal I've created using some of the fabulous MDF pieces from

Calico Craft Parts

This is the front of my journal, I created the front and back of my journal with Calico Craft parts Rectangles, these come in different sizes but this time I used the 10cm by 20cm (100mm by 200mm)

These I painted on the outer edges on both sides with some Green paint from my stash after first coating with white Gesso, I have made a video on the steps of my journal which I will pop below,

The inside pages are made with  Z folds which I decorated with designer papers, stickers and the fabulous MDF flowers by Calico Craft Parts, plus Bees and Butterflies

Here I added one of the gorgeous mini butterflies which I had painted with white Gesso then coloured with Ecoline brush pens,

The next panel has one of the adorable mini bees on as well as one of the Flower pieces,

I again used a Butterfly on the next panel, colouring it in the same way, but this time with just one colour,

On the next panel I've agin used one of the stunning mini Bees along with another of the flower pieces,

In my video I show how I've coloured the Butterflies, flowers, Bees, and how I painted the rectangle cover pieces plus put it all together,

I added some more Bees and Butterflies to the pages as well as a few watered down gesso splats,
