Hello & Happy Monday!
Today I am delighted to be back with another Mixed Media Monday and I am honoured to have our Alumni Brand Ambassador Lindsey Bowe joining us again.

Hello everyone, I am delighted to be back today to share a Journal front cover with you.
To start I stamped and white embossed the mandala from Marvellous Mehndi on watercolour paper, followed by Dylusions spray inks.
I then added gold acrylic paint with an old bottle top & picked up the surplus ink & paint on a piece of white card - an easy way to make a coordinated piece of coloured card stock.
I used the white “mop-up” card to cut out a background circle for my focal point and picked up the gold theme with some thread.
For my focal point I chose the sweet flower from You Are, Yes You clear stamp set & coloured it with pastels.
Here is the final piece, embellished with sequins, my usual stitching & an off cut of some gold ribbon. Bling bling!
Wow! Such a beautiful and inspiring piece. I do love the idea of decorating a journal cover in this way. I hope you have enjoyed todays feature and a big THANK YOU to Lindsey for inspiring us all Gin.
