1 Put a blob of each paint colour on a
paint mat and spread using a brayer.

2 Apply the paint to the journal cover and

to a separate piece of card to use as the

backdrop for the box.

3 Add some cloud texture using a sponge,

some scribbled beach huts cut from

newspaper, some sand and some

glossy texture paste for the sea.

To finish the project: With everything in place, finish off the journal by using a complementing frayed ribbon to thread through the
holes on the spine. Punch a hole in the middle of the spine and insert an eyelet, use this to pop a loop of elastic through as a closure,
I tied some ribbon around to hide the knot inside.

4 Paint the box with white gesso and
adhere to the inside of the journal.

5 Stamp and emboss randomly using

White and Primary Goose embossing

powder and highlight using a Distress

Marker or white Posca pen.

6 Mix some of the metallic paint with the

clear texture paste and apply in small

random sections through a stencil.
