We loved this album that Caroline, owner of Maya Road, put together using a Maya Road linen album and some Jet Pens, and just had to share...
"This 5" x 7" Linen Art Journal was the perfect base to layer on photos and more. I kept it simple to showcase the photos and the simple pen products to make it unique.
To start off on the cover, all of the butterfly stickers on the right side were covered with a clear glaze pen. I then used a MR Wooden Feathered Friend Bird which I first covered in a layer of red glaze with the pen. When that absorbed in and sealed the wood, I was able to use the black glaze pen over it to give it a nice shine finish. I finished up with some journaling using a hi-tec c pen.
For the first and second pages, I also glazed a bird with the yellow glaze pen and followed it up with the clear glaze pen. I used the white gel pen to journal on one of our Kraft DIY Heart Stickers. I used the same pen to outline a MR Die Cut Kraft Butterfly and also the kraft stickers.
For the third and fourth pages, I used the white gel pen and the outline part of some old sticker sheets I had to create the background on the Linen Album. This turned out really neat as it made the Linen Album almost look like it was printed with white print.
For the last pages, I used the white gel pen again to create another background. I then use a red glaze pen to color the Wood Butterfly Piece.
On the back cover, I decided to experiment with some of the green glaze pen and see how a couple of drops would look on a MR Vintage Metal Butterfly. I loved how it looks like there are drips of colored water on the butterfly and how it dried like that.
