“Faith” Mixed Media Journal Cover by Keri Sallee

Good day, everyone!  I have a mixed media project to share with you today 🙂  Design team member Keri Sallee created this perfectly grungy journal cover using ButterBeeScraps metal:

Keri put a ton of time into this project, adding several layers of modeling paste, paint, metal and more!  Here’s a picture part-way through her process:

You can see that she added a layer of modeling paste to her cover and added texture to it using a rubber stamp before adding a variety of ButterBeeScraps metal embellishments.

Here’s a close up of the bottom left hand corner…don’t you just love that crackle finish she added?

As a final touch, Keri added several Small Round Bronze Tibetan Charms (#J176-B) along the right edge of her journal cover to add her title:

I hope you liked today’s project!  If you’re wanting a complete step-by-step tutorial, Keri put together a great one on her blog right HERE.  Thanks so much for popping by today…I’ll see you Thursday for our next tutorial 🙂  Cheers!
