Crafting A Garden Story How to make pages look more rustic and grungy
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Hi and welcome to Kate's Space. I have made a start on my journal for Crafting a Garden Story a collaboration run by @RachandBellaCrafts and @AngelaKerrDesigns
My prompt video is coming up and I chose to work with the rustic and grungy style so today I am experimenting with making the pages i have chosen look a little more grungy.
Make sure you check out all the videos that are going up each day.

Grungy-ing papers is fun isn’t it Kate! Kind of like when we were kids and played in mud puddles. 😃❤

I love your distressing ideas. The distressed tape is cool. The tea/coffee dying really makes pages look old and grungy. Thanks for sharing.

Sewing the ruffles are so pretty even if they are grungy. I really liked the hand sewn ruffle with buttons.

Hi Julie. Thank you for watching 🩷
I love what you did with that floral paper toward the end! But the big takeaway is how much I covet your box of tape. Love also how you add the paint. I always forget about that! Thanks, Kate! I will enjoy seeing how this turns out. Excited about the upcoming ruffles! XO

I think grungy is to the eye of the beholder. Anything that alters the pristine pages out of the printer. Great job, I could handle grunge like your doing.

When you showed the inkjet page you tea dyed and said you weren’t a fan, I was like, I AM! lol I o this on purpose to pages. I love how the color bleeds through to the other side and the texture it gives the paper. In fact I just used that technique in a journal I made for myself. Even though you do t care for it, I’m glad you showed it so other can see what happens and decide to give it a go or not.

I actually love the page where the colors seeped through on the back of the paper and think if you'd edge it with your Vintage Photo, it'd be perfect, but that's just me, lol 🥴 So far your journal is beautiful 💜💜💜

Interesting video. I do a mixture of grungy and shabby I think. Whatever comes to mind I do. Having said that I am only on my second journal. I tend to dye my paper before I print on it as I also have an inkjet and the colour runs if I wet it. Might give paint and ink a try next time. Thanks for sharing ❤

Oh, have you tried gessoing the inkjet pages first, then tea dying? Maybe it would seal the ink a bit.

Hi , no I haven’t. But I have learnt that if you print on matte inkjet photo paper then you can tear/coffee dye after printing. Brigitta from kleeblatt creations told me and yes it works. 😀💙

@@PixieKDesigns Great tip! Thank you!
the page with the birds where the ink bled through to the other side ..... on the side you are not fond of cover it with a paper you like. Maybe layer some pages from big to smaller. Also for the cover .... just add something "grungy" to the front as an embellishment. something that clips on or pins to it that is a little shabby. :)
