Decorated Journal Covers

 

This is the second of the A5 journal books that I picked up from Hobby Craft. I added a napkin to the back cover using matte medium.

I used different colours of metallics to blend the napkin into the background and I've covered it in a couple of layers of soft varnish to protect it.

And here it is dried and in the sunlight. I didn't put anything else on the back so that it sits flat on the table.

I sponged on metallic paints to the front cover and then complied a layout that I was happy with, glued it on and painted it with black gesso.

I coloured the embellishments with metallic paints and waxes.
