Karen DT - MDF Prehistoric Dinosaur journal

Hello lovely crafters

I thought I'd share my MDF mini journal over on the Bee Crafty blog today. I used the fabulous Prehistoric Dinosaur collection recently launched on Hochanda

Products used:
Triceratops stamp set- XL and Regular
Tyrannosaurus Rex stamp set
MDF mini journal 
Dinkables
Texture paste
Gilding wax
Acrylic paint

To begin I used texture paste through the Leafy Branch Dinkable, using the stamps as a guide as to where I wanted the leaves to be.

Once dry I painted all the pages in various coloured Acrylic paints. I like to apply the paint with my fingers, blending colours together.

Once dried I applied Gilding wax over the texture paste.

Having prepped all my pages I began stamping and colouring in my images using inks  sparkle pens or embossing powders.

I also used Dinkables, with Distress Oxides,  to add more dimension to some pages.

 I stamped the Sentiments and attached the pages by the rings supplied. 

I then adhered the metal embellishment to the front page, using gel glue. I also tied some ribbons on the rings, and attached another metal embellishment to the ribbon.

To finish I painted over the wooden word embellishment and adhered with the glue gel.

I hope you enjoyed today's post
