Recipe:
1. Vagabond2 - Sizzix EH Notebook die
2. Chipboard for cover
3. Burgundy Textured Cardstock for inside Journal
4. Sizzix EH Passport Journal Pages
5. Black Stretchy Cording
6. TH Metal 57 with brads
7. TH Discover Metal with cording used as closure
8. Gold Eyelets on the spine - I used WRMK eyelet punch to make the holes and secure the Eyelets
9. Two SIGNATURE pages inside [EH Passport die for pages used for signature covers and page inserts] - there are 8 full page inserts in each signature cover
How I made TEXTURED Cover
I applied White Textured Paste on the cover - I let it dry
I added Black Acrylic Paint to Clear Gesso - stirred and brushed on top of the textured paint
I let it dry.
I used Metallic Green and Blue Paint - applied with a sponge
I let it dry
I used a TH Honeycomb STENCIL with white acrylic paint on a sponge to apply to the cover
I used 2 rubber stamps - Clock and pointing finger with Versafine Black Ink and stamped
I use TH Metal 57 Embellishment with Brads to attach to the cover [then I added the Burgundy Textured cardstock inside the covers - front, back and spine
