Thanks for the wonderful video! I open the bills at work and have been saving the return env. for recycling & I have alcohol inks so i can't tell you how pleased i was to see you apply these inks to the env. Will be doing that soon! Subbing & looking forward to more of your videos!
@loststamper Wow, you have access to so many cool envelopes...your journal will be great. You will have fun with the windows and alcohol inks, so many effects can be achieved with them. They work great on your acrylic paints too. HAVE FUN.
@SandraDin100 I used a 2 ply paper sack, covered a lot of it with tissue paper. Rather than glue the 2ply bag together I used a piece of tissue paper to cover a portion of the front then adhered some of that same piece to the back...all around the edges,so in effect the tissue paper carried as one piece from front to back seals the edges. I used matte medium to adhere the tissue paper, then some paint and a little gesso. A final coat of medium and the cover is vey sturdy. Hope this helps.
Cindi, You have captured my creative, smash book flow. When I have presented smash books to the Art Shops by me they looked at me crossed eyed. Googly Eyed. This is a great video that you have created and I will certainly pass it along. Best wishes.

I'm not clear how to make the cover. It looks like you are using a harder stock cover than a paper bag?? I LOVE this journal.
