 Hello and welcome everyone. It's Eva from Bohemian Crafting and I'm here today with another day of the 100 days challenge. Again I'm gonna be using newspapers and again we're gonna create something from newspapers. It is totally inspired by 7 plus a challenge but I know many many other beautiful channels are joining this challenge. Day 4 Margaret created a book page journal card with a pocket. So here I'm gonna be cheating a little bit. I'm gonna use as my base envelope. And I'm gonna create using newspapers some collage on my envelope. Here I'm gonna reinforce the envelope. So I'm gonna glue few parts of the envelope permanently. So my pocket will be actual envelope pocket. And to make it a little bit stronger as a card, as a journaling card. I think this I will have as a pocket. I will have journaling card here with the window around. So to make it stronger as a card I'm gonna grab some old envelope. So from this envelope I'm gonna cut the piece which I can fit inside. So I do have card cut it in the size which I can fit inside. I'm gonna slide it there. I'm gonna take my embossing tool and with that embossing tool I'm gonna trace the shape of this window to that card. Just make sure I know where to do some decoration. Now I can take it off or not. And here I can see the shape and I can do some stamping or stenciling or maybe watercoloring. I'm not watercoloring person. I have no skills at all. So I'm gonna pretend. I'm gonna alter it. I'm gonna alter watercoloring to my skills somehow which are not too big. So first what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do collage here and collage here on this card from newspapers. I do have prepared pieces of newspapers here. And because I know that I would like to do watercoloring on my project I need to use now glue which is water resistant. Like if I will use this glue stick I know once it's wet again it starts to melt. So I don't want to use this glue stick. I need to use some glue which will stay dry or stay kind of like water resistant when I will do my coloring. For that I'm gonna take Mod Podge and use Mod Podge to glue all my pieces as collage on here and here. So I do have my both pieces covered with book pages. It's already dry. And I can start to do some watercoloring because it's newspaper. To make sure that it will take watercolors the way I want to stay on newspapers. I need to do first layer with some kind of mixed medium. Some acrylic medium or something. I do have here Gesso. So I do have white Gesso or clear Gesso. And I'm thinking I'm gonna be using clear Gesso because I want to actually see the newspapers on my project. If I will use white Gesso it may not be too much visible. Although if I will use the roller to add the white Gesso on my papers that way I can spread it evenly to very thin coat. So newspapers will be kind of like behind the scene semi-transplant. So I do have here this foam roller. And I'm gonna use white Gesso on the envelope and clear Gesso on the cart which I will glue inside later. Or maybe I will keep it like taken cart off. So the white Gesso I'm gonna use here on the envelope. And with this I believe I can somehow spread it evenly. And I will don't have there brushes strokes. It does have wrinkles just because I glued that newspaper paper. So it does have wrinkles but the white Gesso it's evenly coated. I'm gonna wash my foam thingy. And on the cart I'm gonna be using this clear Gesso. I'm gonna put just a little bit here. Take it on my roller and apply it. Now I'm gonna let dry both of these. They do look quite similar do they? And meanwhile my envelope and the cart are drying. I'm gonna prepare myself for watercoloring. Because I don't have a painting palette I'm gonna create one. I do have here this empty egg tray. So what I'm gonna do I'm gonna cut it on two pieces. And yeah I think it will sit nicely. I don't want to have it flimsy. So I'm gonna be using hot glue gun and glue it all together. So I do have here my gun. And I'm gonna just put a little bit of that hot glue on the side. And we'll see what will happen if it melt the piece or if it will stay. I do believe it's very strong now. And I've got here this envelope. And I'm gonna be using that to create bottom and sides I guess. And now I do have my little shining palette for my colors. And I can start to watercoloring. Well that's my lighting palette right here. I already mixed up some watercolor washes. I think it's called washes that wash technique. I do have here water. The colors I used to make this mix. And I'm gonna doodle a little bit on both of these. I do have here Arteza roller ball pen. It's perfect when you want to do some doodling. This pen gives you beautiful fine line. And it works really well. So I'm gonna do just some simple doodling. And I think it's perfect relaxing art. Even if you don't know watercoloring just go to try it with the doodling. It's something so perfect I have to say. Some doodling here. And maybe here. So I think I'm gonna leave it like this. I'm gonna grab my watercolor washers. I still have no idea how it's called. Put a little bit of watercolor. Oh water. Not watercolor. Water. Around. Start to apply there some colors. So if you are not skilled like I'm not skilled. These easy applying some colors is very enjoyable. I have to say. So I think I'm gonna speed up this process. Because for me it will take a time. I do have my bases and I really like that. I like these colors so much. I'm not gonna do any watercoloring. Like I'm not gonna do more of watercoloring at all. I was thinking I've got here these beautiful stickers. So maybe I can use these and some of these mini labels. I do have them on Buy Me a Coffee. So I'm gonna put link down below. These I do have on my Etsy. And I was thinking I'm gonna do something. So I'm gonna cut out few images from here and pull out few butterflies from here and I will see. So I cut out few images from my sheet with labels and I'm thinking somehow like this, not sure yet. But what I would like to do, I do have here this poster pen. And with that poster pen I'm gonna add white splatters. I'm not gonna add anything else. I think that is enough. And now close look what I have created today. I do have here my super shining palette with the create. Sign here at the front. I have to say I love it so much. I do love all these spaces where I can actually mix the colors together. I somehow forget I can do that. So if I will put all these three in another, you know, bow, I can mix these colors here, not on my table. And do not mess up with my hand next time. You will have to think about that, but I do love that. And these are my envelope. I also used same distress ink I used on this side to distress a little bit the edges and around the window. So this is my envelope and my watercoloring and little layout. I did enjoy it so much. This is probably as much as I can do with watercolors. Some kind of splatters and kind of like abstract art. And this is my tag, which I thought I'm going to glue inside, but then I realized that I don't want to glue it in there. I want to try even more that watercoloring. So this is my trying and it looks quite cool together. And it looks like this from opposite side. So I'm very happy with the result. So this is my sharing for today. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you found some inspiration. Maybe if you are missing your palette for painting, maybe you can do something like this. It's quite good. It does have nice size of the bows here. So it's quite good. And maybe you didn't try watercolors and you want to try it. So I think abstract art is the best one. And do the link and cover any kind of what you think it needs to be covered. You know, just play with it and enjoy it. Thank you so much for spending your time with me and visiting me today. I appreciate that very much. All links will be in the description box below. I wish you all a beautiful day. Take care of yourself and I will see you soon. Bye.
