Theres still time to take part in the Stampotique Designer's Challenge 'FLOWERS'.
For my contribution, I used one of the sets by Eileen Hull to create this journal.
To begin with I 'applied' ALDI pastel paints (just cheap kids paints) with my fingers ...ok so smeared would have been a more accurate description lol...and glued the panels together. With this set you can lace up the pieces but I preferred a more solid structure (plus the lace thread I had didnt work with the layout I had in mind)
I stencilled and inked areas, highlighted the stencilled circles with pen...and added some stamping directly to the surface
I glued on the letters creating the phrase and added some bits and bobs to decorate...
Added the Giant Daisy and Flamingo & co.
Made an inside pocket to hold pages
DA-DAAAAAH.

ps...I'm not really living the dream...haha...just a bit of artistic license ....like I dont ride round the village on my flamingo...or do I? ;) All I can say is it would have to be a blimming strong flamingo haha

Beautiful Jo!
Apologises if this is a duplicate comment the one I wrote before went a bit funny so not sure if it posted or not !
Those paints look great and lovely colours too! I will look out for you on a flamingo, I will be the one on a Unicorn!
Hi Jo,
What a lovely journal you have made, I especially love the beautiful background you have created, the colour blends are gorgeous and look soooo pretty together. I'll have to look out for them in our local ALDI to see if they have some of these paints. Are they in tube format or flat circular pans? I got some lovely kids paints (for myself LOL) a while back from LIDL, they were called Wax Gel Pens,they are lovely and creamy and water soluble and were a amazing price too, I'm, sure that they were less than 3 euros !!! :)
warmest best wishes from France
