Pinterest Inspired- Creating a Mixed Media Junk Journal Cover!

One of the best platforms to go to for inspiration is Pinterest. I want to decorate the cover of a journal and asked you on Instagram which of two Pinterest photos I should use as inspiration.
This is the Pinterest Post I used for inspiration: www.pinterest.at/pin/56632772...

[@christines3559]

I'm so glad you've come back to your Pinterest Inspired Series!

[@user-yo4gt1wn5s]

I didn't think that a third yellow element was all that necessary, but when you added that watercolour it completely transformed the whole thing and brought it all together, I am amazed at how your mind works

[@janeenrodgers5993]

Fun to watch. I love to hear you think out loud.

[@wendyk2557]

I love this Pinterest Inspired series.

[@rachelpatten8889]

I like “less rectangly”. It is very descriptive. Your project came out so well, her inspiration with your own creativity.

[@dorotheafinan2419]

Really lovely Barbara. Amazing how much variety can go into a neutral palette.

[@SaltLifeGypsy68]

Love this cover. I would've voted for the Dragonfly also. 🤩

[@vickinoeske1154]

Just beautiful. The dragonfly stamp is so magical!

[@angelaarnold4255]

Oh Wow!! I love the way this turned out. You have such a good eye. After you pointed out that the bottom right needed something else, I agreed with you. Who knew all it needed was a little more grunge. I love the way it turned out. ♥️♥️♥️

[@deniselini1366]

That was gorgeous Barbara…and totally put your style on it.!!👌🏻👌🏻🥰

[@lucyfanning7496]

I enjoy Pinterest inspired videos.Love watching your process.

[@donnaarsenoff8399]

I was so excited when I saw you were going to use the dauber. I always loved when you would do the “splat” and you haven’t done it for quite awhile. The cover is wonderful and definitely you.

[@SongbirdCollageArts]

I absolutely love the technique and look of the brick. What an awesome texture it brings to the page. Thanks for sharing, Barbara!

[@msmarlene4977]

Absolutely amazing! I love how you cut the paper and sewed over it... quite interesting and unique.

[@ruthwalzershine429]

Such a treat watching you create this cover..Getting inspired by Pinterest …Another superb video from you..

[@shimah_matrix]

That tear and sew looks adorable and indeed posses a deep meaning. I'll try that soon. I love how you find yourself in every little decision. You know YOU!😄.. You always recreate in a way that your art gets its individuality too. 💙🌼

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you for your kind words m, sweetie! ❤️

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Barbara, love how the cover came out, so very lovely. TFS

[@tonyashatley5040]

Gorgeous. Love how it looks on the journal. I like these Pinterest art videos. Always fun and a challenge to figure out how they did theirs.

[@marciagainey5155]

Barbara, it is such a pleasure to watch you create. You are not afraid to give something a try. Well, maybe you are afraid, but you grit your teeth and go ahead. With brave wings, she flies! I loved when you said the broken clothes pin was a sign. Great way to look at it. 😻 I have several of the things you used - the corrugated board and distress inks - so I can’t wait to give your project a try! I hope spring is coming to Vienna. It is coming where I live and seeing the colors of spring is nice.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Marcia! Have fun with your project! Yes, spring is definitely here! Yay! ❤️😃

[@pambotter355]

Gorgeous Barbara! Love how it turned out and will be great on the journal! TFS! ❤️

[@carolschneider8589]

Barbara, I always like when you do this type of video with the Pinterest ideas. This turned out amazing!! It is definitely a beautiful journal cover with lots of textures, and just the right hint of your favorite colors. You just made me want to go tear up a box somewhere so I can peel it back for the corrugated stuff. Thanks for the inspiration as always. Hugs, Carol Schneider

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Carol! I just love the idea of the stitched cardboard! 😃❤️

[@annwoleben5439]

So many wonderful textures!

[@honey-cy1io]

A wonderful cover, Barbara! 🥰

[@sandrahickey3593]

[@suebayliss2051]

[@janillingsworth7478]

That looks great. I love the cut and stitch idea. I thought to extend the stitching idea to do open weave type darning. I love the colour combination too.

[@evelynhughes951]

Magnificent!!

Stunning Barbara, I love it so much I’d like to do my version of yours! xxx💕

Wow that looks amazing Barbara.. I like these videos as well 👍🏻

[@mariakristinaengen3215]

Wonderful!

[@prof.mommyarty]

I should really go back to look at all the things I've pinned over the years 🙊. That's a pretty post 😍. I obviously don't go on Instagram enough either 🙈. I use wall filler as texture paste 🙊. Yep, sewing tears in corrugated card wouldn't have occurred to me either! Aww I love the symbolism! Gorgeous😍😍😍. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks sweetie! You should try one of your Pinterest posts! 😃❤️

[@debbieforward5282]

This turned out great!

[@brendagilbert7881]

[@monicagalgani970]

Barbara another great video!!! Also you would be so proud. I followed a video and the altered book i made came out amazing!!!!!so excited to start to work in it

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Monica! Oh, that makes me so happy! ❤️❤️❤️

[@mariep-MAPAT]

I think she used broken china because if she made it in 2017, Ranger didn't had speckled egg or salvaged patina yet, but it doesn't really matters, because your colors worked just fine! Beautiful art !

[@veronim77]

Lost two of my comments I made. Where did they go? Anyway absolutely gorgeous junk journal cover. Love it.

[@49dragonflies]

Strange you lost your comments 🤔 happy you enjoyed this! ❤️

[@mydirtylittlehands4389]

At about 19 minutes you mentioned the paper is from Susana? I couldn't make out the rest but would love to find her for inspiration. Thanks you

[@49dragonflies]

Sorry I didn’t clarify in the video. Susanne’s channel is called Bollenhut_Art, it’s in German.

[@matildaenlund6679]

[@mydirtylittlehands4389]

What did you use to glue book pages together?

[@49dragonflies]
