I had fun designing this little art journal from various cut-outs like pockets, post cards and folders from the Marion Smith "Timekeeper" and "Junque Gypsy" Collections. The icing on the cake are the beautiful shades of teal, paprika and burgundy found in the Petaloo embellishments!
For the cover, the large pocket was cut from one of the patterned papers, assembled and then embellished with a vintage air-balloon print and a layering of sugared flowers and crochet trim. I also found an old key from my stash that fit in nicely.
The inner pages were made up of various post-card and decorative note card style prints that were cut from the patterned papers.
Included on the "Portfolio" patterned paper is this large folder, which I cut out and added small mats to. The pages were bound together using a Bind-it-All and brass metal comb. A great little gift for those who love collecting ideas about art or anything steampunk!
