I was partners with @Smmarrt in the Paper and Mixed Media Embellishment Swap. I tried out some new-to-me techniques, and had a blast getting creative and messy.

First up is a mini book I made and filled with random embellishments and ephemera - some handmade and some from my stash.

Some different background papers I stamped, inked, painted, used texture pastes, etc.

And some more mixed media handmade items - the birds and faces are free-handed, but I used a set of Dina Wakley stamps as a reference for the birdies:

The flowers on the last one are fabric I cut out and added to painted backgrounds.

Thanks for looking!

You definitely knocked it out of the park with the variety…and got a lot into that little journal!

I love the fabric flowers! Did you use bits of ribbon on the cover at the spine?

Thank you!!! Yep! I just sewed two pieces of ribbon to two pieces of corrugated cardboard to make the cover, leaving a small gap between cover pieces so there was space for the signatures. So simple!

This is packed with awesome! The Monopoly money really emphasizes how small it is! You got so much in there! I really love the stamped birds and the circles.
