Here is my creation

DETAILS OF BIRD ART JOURNAL

I decided to turn my accordion kit into a mini book,

A Mini Bird Art Journal.

First I covered the foam covers with Music sheet paper, then

glued the pages together, so it formed 6 pages to decorate

I wanted this book to look like a study of different birds,

A vintage journal style book, with a very rustic feel to it.

Before I glued the covers to the inside pages, I used Tim Holtz

Die cut “Hardware Finding” using the long hinged shape,

cut out of Grungeboard, I inked them and secured it in place

with brads. This created a hinge for my mini book. Then glued

the pages to the cover. All the lace I used from Meg’s Garden

was white, I stained them with distress inks to make them look

vintage colour. I did the same to the Paper doilies.
