Red and Black Journal Butterfly Flip Page
by Cindy Bristow
Howdy!
Today I am sharing one of the flip pages in my Red and Black journal that I am working on. I will try and share as many links to products as I can. These links are affiliate links which means that if you click on the link and purchase the product, I earn a small commission.
Last month I shared a tutorial on how to turn a Mini Album into a junk journal. If you missed it, here is the link to the first post. This is one of the 7 7/8" x 4 1/2" flips that I added to the mini album.
The black rose cardstock is one of my favorites, but is no longer available. I have a few sheets of it left and have been hoarding it. This piece was a scrap and as you can see it wasn't quite wide enough to cover the entire flip. I added a strip of Candy Apple Red cardstock to cover what was left.
The red was really bright, so I toned it down by inking the edges with Vintage Photo Oxide Distressed ink and then I stamped it with one of the small stamps from this stamp set using black ink
I also used another stamp from that set to stamp the center of the small doily flip I created. The black ink looked really stark, so I grabbed my Stormy Sky Distressed Oxide ink pad, tapped a bit onto my acrylic stamp block and used a water brush to color the center of my doily.
My tag measures 7 1/2" x 2 3/4" and was made using a piece of white cardstock scrap. I layered a piece of a vintage dictionary page on top of it and inked the edges. I also collaged a few scraps onto it before I stamped the butterflies and script writing on it. All of the stamps come from the etsy store I linked earlier in the post. I still had a little of the Stormy Sky ink on my block, so I added a bit of water and ran the tag through it. I like the distress look it made, plus it cleaned off my block! After everything was dry, I took the tag to my sewing machine and stitched around the center with black thread.
Thanks for stopping by,
Cindy
