Steampunk Serengeti Blog Hop 2021 Post #7

   Once again Leigh is leading a hop...

LeighSBDesigns Steampunk Serengeti Blog Hop!
August 6 - 31, 2021



For more details hop over to Leigh's page

For my next project, I am making a little mini-journal out of 6 index cards. I had seen a video by Marjie Kemper making something similar so I decided to make this...

I started by adding gesso to both sides of 6 index cards.


I then added orange and red acrylic paint to both sides using a wet wipe. I then used gold paint and bubble wrap to make some marks, and red paint with corrugated card.


I added black soot Distress Ink around the edges, scored where the hinge will be, and then started embellishing the pages.

These are the first few pages to share:


I stamped the various animals in black Archival  (Stampin Up stamps from Wild About You)
I added the names and white penwork.

I will link these to Leigh's Linky

More to follow...

Happy Crafting!

    This is such a great idea- I was wondering what to do with all my index cards! Love the stamp set, I had a look, but couldn’t find it anywhere .

      You might find it on ebay. It's probably retired.
