[@jadee614]

Beautiful! I'm gonna have to check more of your videos!!

Love the cover and process, especially because you added some lighter colors in it. I always do my rusting colors black,brown and orange, but the rusting powder gives it that extra look! Music felled good too :) xxx

[@conishkee]

Goodness gracious, I can't get enough. The colors are so vibrant and bold, not to mention the detail that goes into making it all come together. It is so happening, so now. I just LOVE it!

[@vincentm.7462]

You make it look effortless

[@karenholroyd9603]

Gabrielle, it never ceases to amaze me how you can seem to throw and spray colours around and don't end up with a muddy brown mess (like I get!). All your projects are inspiring and wonderful :-)

[@GabriellePollacco]

[@ThePaperCastle]

Gorgeous!! Love everything about it.....especially the colors. TFS, Heather

[@NerisLaces]

So love the whole process of your mixed media journal and the textures! Learned a few things along the way too, Thank You! But I have to say the rusting technique you used was totally awesome! Never seen it before. LOVE IT! hugz

[@GabriellePollacco]

+DCScrappinRooster Thanks so much hon for the kind feedback! This rusting technique is so easy and after the pieces actually almost feel like metal! :)

[@geminicris4586]

I love this metal effect! It's perfect. Thanks for sharing. ♥

[@FranOnTheEdge]

Grrrrr! You just cost me money! (Since I just had to have the mask and the stencil in your Organic Matter design!) LOL! Love the journal covers. Now if only I could get hold of the crackle texture paste too! I didn't know such things even existed. Thanks for posting this, love your videos!

[@GabriellePollacco]

Hi Fran, I believe Janene at The Scrapbook Diaries has the crackle paste ;)

[@FranOnTheEdge]

+Gabrielle Pollacco Thanks Gabrielle, but I don't think they ship to the UK. However, I've found Crackle Paste on Amazon UK, and I've just got some Kroma Crackle from The Netherlands - I've wanted to try that for about 4 or 5 years. But thank you so much for the tip.

[@fannyedithleivapalacios8482]

¡¡¡REALMENTE HERMOSO....BENDICIONES!!!

[@rosemarybryson1589]

Wow just amazing!!!

[@milliecolon8532]

Awesome as always

[@MarinaWilsonSaySomethingCrafty]

Thank you for sharing! Loved watching. I learned a few new techniques! Your covers came together beautifully. p.s. I didn't mind the music. I thought it went just fine with your theme. I like that you didn't choose traditional music.

[@GabriellePollacco]

+Marina Wilson (Say Something Crafty) :) I knew it was going to be one of those love it or hate it kind of things when it came to the music,...thanks for your kind feedback hon! xo

[@nancyk.1520]

Stunning!

[@DesignbyTunder]

Gorgeous book covers.Amazing as always!Hugs.

[@AbiNomac]

I am saving this video, if not for the art, which is beautiful but for the music.

[@LynzCraftz]

Gorgeous book covers, love the steampunk style! tfs Lyn

[@CorinneXoXoX]

just lovely!!!

[@thanern6237]

Such a great video. I liked the homemade tips. Can We use any hair spray? Well done

[@cathyconey3273]

will do my first journal soon you are inspiring! the music is fun, I listen to kpop so I understand different!

[@Seashelldub]

I'm a true beginner getting ready to make a mixed media chipboard scrapbook for a gift. This is the first tutorial that was remotely helpful...thank you! (LOVED the music btw.) Quick question: what's the Gesso for? Can it be substituted with Mod Podge or texture paste of some sort?

[@christinecarlson4071]

I love your new project and stencils! You are one creative lady! Would you please tell me if you do a lot of preplanning regarding product textures and colors? I think I really want to do this, but don't want to end up with a hot mess.

[@GabriellePollacco]

Thanks! ...haha, sometimes it feels like I'm working towards a hot mess! I plan the basic design, for example,what stencils I'd like to use, what chipboard and possibly what colors. I don't always use all the colors or embellishments I pull for the project as this often changes as I go. Hope this helps! xo

[@Itzmommy]

Awesome!!!

[@michelleamies4456]

Wow!!! Amazing!!

[@vickiekennedy6152]

I love the work you do! I had a comment about the music. If you or anyone saw the movie "Serendipity" with John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale, Lar's music sure sounds like this.

[@GabriellePollacco]

Yes! that is where I first heard this music piece, it was also in the Tom Cruise movie called Vanilla Sky ;)

[@ZeeCeeCreations]

I love this one, Gabrielle! TFS Marsha ~ZeeCee Creations
