You may remember about a month ago, I showed you this new diary cover (here) that I made for my studio using a lovely graphic from the Graphics Fairy.
My friend Anna loved it so much, I made her one last week too… except hers is an art journal.
I knew Anna would use an art journal, as she participated in my ‘Embracing the Passions’ e-course last year and has been hooked on journaling ever since.
As you can see, I used the same graphic I downloaded from the Graphics Fairy for my diary, except this time I altered the shape of the frame from rectangle to square.
I added a bit more oomph to the design by embroidering cream bullion roses over the flowers in the graphic… loving these little roses!!
Finished off with a handmade shabby frayed rose and vintage buttons, I think it turned out quite nice.
It’s definitely one-of-a-kind and I hope Anna enjoys filling the pages with journaling delights.
I’m joining in with Graphics Fairy’s Brag Monday.
If you are interested in downloading 1,000’s of gorgeous free graphics,
I suggest you visit the very generous and clever Karen at Graphics Fairy.
Happy crafting,
Hugs

I saw your journal on the “Graphics Fairy” site and loved it! It’s so feminine and pretty. I can’t figure out how to print on fabric, but I’m sure there’s a way.
I had to become a follower….so I can get more inspiration!
