Art For Hermine & a Mini AJ

I was recently asked by the very talented

Hermine Koster, to make a piece of

art for her project. I was sent an Art card

& then spent about two weeks trying to decide

on my theme!! France was my choice.

Here is the completed card below.

Stamps - Elusive Images

Background - Emboss resist stamp - Tim Holtz.

 

This is the card I made to accompany the little art card.

Stamps by Art Journey.
Clouds and grass are stamped using
embossing folders. Colour added for flowers
using distress markers & watercolour brush.

I also sent to her the matchbook that I recently made

as it went well with my final design.

 



 

I also sent her a blank miniature Art Journal.

Below is mine.

I am showcasing the front cover, the first spread

and the back cover today.

 

Inks used Hero Arts Shadow Inks.

Archival Black Ink.

 



Stencils are TCW and Donna Downey.

Stamps - Stampers Anonymous

Kaisercraft & Paperbag Studios.

 



This little Art Journal measures 3" square.

I made it from a piece of 140lb watercolour paper

and I created a Maze Book.

To create the two covers I copied the idea from

Tim Holtz Valentine Book 
instead of making card covers, I folded them
over to make sturdier covers. I did not bind the book with tape
I left it free flowing until it is completed.
I did seal all the pages together on my version.
I have left them open on Hermine's,
so she can make pockets if she wishes too.
Being so tiny, there are only 6 double spreads but as my
name suggests, I love minis!!!
