Pink Violet Journal


This is one of many journals to come...I want to sell them at our church's upcoming Girls Weekend Out this coming June to raise money for our New Life for Girls Craft Nights!

I found these ADORABLE journals at Michaels for very cheap and altered them. I added the black and white mats, and ribbon. Then, I used my Big Shot and Nestabilities to cut out the rectangles and added the sentiment...which I LOVE - "Don't tell God how big your problems are, tell your problems how big God is!" AMEN!

I pulled out my brand spankin' new copic markers...yes, I know...I'm very far behind everyone! :) I've never really tried to color large images like this before, so this was literally my first attempt at shading, etc...what do you think?! I think it turned out pretty good, especially for my first attempt! I'd love to learn how to do it better!

I cut out all the individual leaves and flower and assembled together directly onto the front of the card.

The image is new from Papertrey Ink - Year of Flowers Violets. I am totally loving this set because the images are so elegant! Just beautiful!

Oh, and you can't tell, but the three tiny circles in the middle of the flower are covered with stickles for a touch of sparkle!

Supplies:
Cardstock - black/white
Stamps - Year of Flowers - Violets (PTI)
Ink - Copic Markers
