Penpal Project by Danielle with Video

.

Hiya Lovelies!

I have a snail mail/penpal project for you today! It is a mixed media penpal flipbook using the May kit! I love the colours in this kit, and that is what I wanted to showcase!

.

I used a texture paste to create a resist background and a few Daniel Smiths watercolours. I then used a script stamp in a rose gold colour to create more interest to the background as well as the scraps of the printed baking paper that I had already used in another project.

On top of that, I used Prima Art Extravagance effect paste in ‘mermaid’. I love this stuff! I am obsessed with it right now!

I created pockets and belly bands with the paper from the kit and black card. I attached the papers with my favourite dotty washi and used my crop-a-dile to create a tie closure with the twine from the kit. To decorate I used the die-cuts, the journal cards and the stickers.

Here’s a process video of how I did it. Grab a cuppa, it’s a long one!

Take care and much love,

Danielle.
