Journal 52 Cover

I have started a new challenge this year called Journal 52 - its been going for quite some time now but I've only just found it . Here's the link if you'd like to go take a look Journal 52


Today I have been covering a journal to use for this challenge



I started by covering my journal with Tim Holtz Tissue wrap I deliberately crumpled it a bit to get some creases into it.
 
I also added some tissue tape to straighten up the edges
 
 
I added colour with Distress Inks - Walnut Stain and Vintage photo
 
 
I then added some paper circles that I cut out with a punch I also added some bits of ephemera.
 
 
My central piece was created on some cardboard I created a worn paint texture and then added the lettering and Number 52 - the butterflies were die cut and finished off with beads. I adhered the ensembles to my Journal with Glossy Accents
 
I added some metal letters to the circles and some Rub Ons to finish it off
 
if you click on the photo you will get a better look at it 
 
I am entering this in the following challenges
 
 
Rhedds Creative Spirit - Altered

Lessology - Cardboard  I have added cardboard to the central piece - all the papers are recycled from old books too
