Mixed Media Journal cover

Hello everyone,

Rachelle here, I am a member to the Design Team from Splashy Mix Challenges.

I am excited to share my "Garden of Faith" Journal as a DT.

It's awhile that I did some Mixed media and this was awesome to get messy again 

with some Mixed media products.

I have collected through the years a lot of stuff. 

Some of my Chippies or products are from my stash and I can not remember from whom

they are but I will have a products list on my Personal Blog.

Rochellies Creations

Every year I ask my Facebook friends and Family to leave me a word
 started with the First letter of their name.

I create something for everyone with a Bible verse and placed it in a file.

This year I decided to create a Garden of Faith Journal 
and everything will go in this Journal.

Below is pictures and a tutorial for the Journal

I created a Video if you like to visit my Youtube channel.

I used a 15,5 x 21,5 cm Journal

I covered the front with White Gesso and place my embellishments on.

I used a stencil and some Heave Gesso  - The Crafters workshop - Mini Sketch grid

Brick Chippies - Enmarc

Faith word - Enmarc

Garden word - mixed letters in my stash

Leaves - 49 and market

Lace and Burlap from my stash

Place everything on en Gesso again

I Gesso all my embellishments and let them dry overnight

The next day - Let the fun begin

I used Acrylic paint - Burnt Umber

Golden Medium Acrylic Glazing Liquid

Mix them together and paint the whole front cover

After applying one layer wait a few minutes and wipe everything

of with Wet wipes, until you are satisfied with the colour.

I normally do a second layer of the same colour.

After you wipe it off and it is dry enough for another colour.

You can start with another colour.

Second colour is Magenta

Mixed again your Acrylic paint and Golden Glazing,

then paint where you like to have the colour.

Now I started to build my theme.

The fence and Garden tools are from my stash

I used my Glue gun to glue everything down.

After I glued the fence and the garden tools

I used the Burnt Umber and Magenta colour again over these embellishments.

After drying I started to place my flowers

I started to paint my flowers with different colours.

Tim Holtz - Distress Paint - Festive Berries

Dylusions ink Spray - White Linen
