Art Journal Covers @ ARTplorations Mixed Media Tutorials

{My DT work for ARTplorations}

Hello everyone! 
I'm excited to share with you my new art journal covers plastered with a product you can get from hardware to replace gesso for a change.
 This is my second edition of art journal book ~ upcycled an old book with hard covers to fill in the pages with upcoming artwork. My eldest daughter has booked the first edition, lol.
Three different watercolor paints on the whole and highlighted the roses by using my finger to rub gold paint.
I decorated the front cover with wood flourish, gold gem and little bird sticker
as well as the title for my art journal. To add a little interest, I stamped the corner using artsy border maker
I think less is more concept is just perfect for the back cover.
Oh! Have I mentioned the product from hardware that I used?
I think you would be interested to know how I achieved the texture and patterns on the covers?

Click here to take you to ARTplorations tutorial. You will find the answer :-)
