Journaling on index cards

 

Hi There! I am here with a couple of index cards for my blog post today. These are a great way to art journal in miniature without the expense of a purpose made journal. I used the Bee Crafty Palette for this week. I also used Journaling Essentials stamps so these are more inspiration for our challenge in the Bee Crafty Stamps facebook group. 

I began by smooshing the index cards with distress inks. I used a piece of acetate to apply the inks with. 

I used a couple of Dinkables to apply some Villainous Potion distress ink to the inked background.

Using Journaling Essentials sets #5 and #8, I used the prize ribbon and iced spruce to add some stamping to the background. 

I chose focal images from the same stamp sets and stamped these in Black versafine clair onto the backgrounds. 
 

I stamped the flowers again onto some white card, cut them out and coloured them using ecoline markers. 

finally I added these along with some wordy stickers to the backgrounds. Some faux stitching using a gelly roll moonlight pen finished them off.

Here are each of the cards.
