PUTTY FILLER ART JOURNAL COVERS by Asmah

Hi there and a happy Monday! Asmah here...
I'm excited to share with you my new art journal covers plastered with a product you can get from hardware. This idea came to me after I did some painting work in the house
some time back.

 I used an old book with hard covers and it's perfect for this project.

So here's the putty filler I mentioned just now. This can be easily obtained at your hardware.

Paste the covers with putty filler as thin or as thick as you wish and let dry. It takes approximately an hour to dry by itself. 

 Use fine sand paper to sand off the surface and you will get a smooth texture. Throw away the access.

 This is the result after sanding off the access. 

 I applied modeling paste using gridlocked and old rose prints to create patterns. I made sure the gridlocked pattern is dried before I resume with old rose stencil.

 Next step is coloring process. I used three different watercolor paints on the whole. When the paint is dried, I highlight the roses by using my finger to dab gold paint.

I decorated the front cover with wood flourish, gold gem and little bird sticker

as well as the title for my art journal. To add a little interest, I stamped the corner using artsy border maker. 

I think less is more concept is just perfect for the back cover.

I hope you will find some inspirations from my tutorial.

Until I see you again next time. Happy creating and thank you for stopping by.

Hugs and smiles,
