My version of Lin's Journal


Here is my version of Lin's little handbag journal.  i have know Lin for several years, and often visited her shop for workshops when she was in Olney.She is one of the guest designers on the Paperartsy Blog this week, so for all the instructions pop over there.  I altered the size slightly to fit in with the mountboard and canvas that I had in stock. I used Fresco paints, Antartic, Sky and South Pacific together with stamps from two of Lin's sets.  The dots I made using the handle of my paint brush. The final addition was the brown stopped ribbon to pull everything together.   Thanks for looking.  i highly recommend Lin's workshops, she is truly inspiring.
