Altered Chalkboard Journal Cover
Hey Guys!So since a long time I wanted to alter a diary cover so that I could turn it into a journal for my work.But I never got the time until a few weeks back when I saw the challenge at Lessology was to incorporate Chalkboard into your work,I knew that this was the perfect time.So here is a picture of the diary before being altered.
And here it is after being altered.
I had planned it to come out in another way but since I was short on time,I decided to do it this way.Now the first challenge was-Chalkboard paint.Since I didn't want to spend money on buying the paint,I thought of making it at home.After watching many videos on youtube,I finally got the perfect recipe.So in a bowl I took 2 tablespoons of black acrylic paint and 1 tablespoon of baking soda.So the proportion should be 2:1.I mixed it and painted the cover.Next I started making handmade flowers by different techniques and it took me quite some time.Lastly,I arranged them to make a border and glued them down.This took me 3 days to make and I'm satisfied with the effort.Lastly since I didn't have chalk to write on,I was going to use my Camlin soft pastels as they are equivalent to chalks but I could not find them in time.Here is a closer look.
Linking it up to the following challenges:
1)Lessology-Chalkboard fun
2)The paper shelter-flowers
3)613 avenue create-Anything goes
Thanks for stopping by.Happy Crafting!
