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.

    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.

    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. :)
