November Journal Pocket

 A couple of snowy days were a great excuse to stay indoors and craft so managed to get my art journaling done for November.

The basis of my pocket was an envelope template, working on cardstock I inked using Distress Inks, stencilling and stamping using PaperArtsy stamps.

The main images were coloured using Promarkers and coloured pencils. These were added to my pocket by making little card, tag and altered paper clip.

 I am really pleased to be a guest designer over at Creative Artiste challenge this month for their mixed media challenge #110 which is as always ‘anything goes’.

I created this little pocket to store a couple of artist trading coins.

The cupcake rubber stamps are by Crafty Individual. 

The stamps used in the background were by Prima, PaperArtsy and an old star stamp which was a freebie on the Craft Stamper magazine years ago. I also did some stitching using my sewing machine.

I used paint, inks and coloured using Promarkers.

Do hope you will hop on over at join this month’s challenge at the Creative Artiste challenge blog.

Used a brand new set of rubber stamps by Crafty Individuals I was given for my birthday as the focal images within my pocket. I made an ATC to tuck in the pocket, an altered mini moo paperclip to embellish it and also a little hair slide closure on the front.
