Inspirational Bookcover by Katja

I really enjoy creating inside old books. And book cover are so fun to give them a new look. You can use an old book in many different ways. You can have it for journaling, for travel planner or playing in it on daily basis. You can also use your book for keeping memories, tickets, maps, pressed flowers  or you can have your photos in it. Your own personal photo album. 

Here I have decorated an old book cover. A bit grungy and  I have used 3 d Matte Gel for texture. Also beads and glass glitter for fine detailing. You can find Glass Glitter around my focal point and also on the edges. I wanted to add some depth and I used purple Liquid Acrylic Paint. The effect around the details of my project is gorgeous. It is really my favorite paint because it is so easy to use.

There is a video for you and I hope you will enjoy it.

As soon as I could I shared the secret with my Team as I was sure their talent and creative concepts will be the best source of inspiration for you all... today we are showing you some of the projects they've made for you - and I hope you are as excited as I am!

First of all, I'd like tom show you the cover off my handmade journal, which I created following the prompts and colour palette for June at Art Daily Cafe blog. I've decided to use Spring Blossom Metallique Paint together with my Liquid Acrylics, gesso and gels to alter thew cover of the old book... I love the result and I have to tell you I didn't stop since I finished it, filling the pages with simple acts of everyday art...

Katja created this amazing box using five of my new Art Alchemy Paints colors:
