Lacy Florals Junk Journal by Savera Kiani

Hey, everyone! Savera Kiani of Trinketz, one of our amazing new Junk Journal Design Team Members, created a fabulous Lacy Florals Junk Journal for us this week. As you know, we feature one new Junk Journal project each week created by one of our creative team of artists, but this week we are bringing two to you! Our Design Team Members select from the 100’s of Vintage Image Bundles on our Premium Membership Site, for their creations, in order to show you beautiful ways to use those images. We hope you will be totally inspired by this series!

Therefore, please make sure you check out the video tour at the bottom of the page…please scroll all the way down to see it. Are you ready to be inspired? I will step out of the way and let Savera tell you all about her incredible project…

Hello, my dear friends! I’m Savera from Trinketz all the way from Pakistan. It is my absolute pleasure to present to you my first design team project for The Graphics Fairy. I have a vintage soul but I love the brightness of nature so I decided to go all out with a beautiful and bright vintage floral theme for this journal. This journal is an amalgamation of beautiful florals with some vintage shabby and tattered elements. The texture is rich with a combination of different fabrics, luscious laces, and trims which depict the affluent cultural heritage of this country. Not to forget the bling that we all love here!

The journal itself is constructed from heavy board covered with tea-dyed canvas and then layered with different laces, trims and finally topped with beautiful images from the Graphics Fairy Premium Website. The cover has been waxed to protect the colors and gives a beautiful satin sheen with gold wax edging. The spine is made with a beautiful embroidered velvet piece. It was such a pleasure to mix and match different images to adapt to my theme from the Graphics Fairy Premium site. For the cover, I used images of a pink frame, a rose bunch, and some vintage paper and layered the three images up on Libre office draw. Trust me I am no expert at digital art but it was really simple and easy to do this with the images provided on the website.

As well as the Graphics Fairy images, the journal includes a wide variety of papers making up the pages including vintage book pages, vintage cards, butter paper, and hand-dyed papers. I printed on three different kinds of paper including photo paper, textured paper, and tea-dyed copy paper. The tea-dyed copy paper was also waxed to protect the colors.

I have used many different kinds of fabrics including lace and fine silk to make pockets throughout the journal.

This journal is loaded with ephemera, including clusters and pockets! I used tea-dyed wax paper to back some of it and embellished it with different laces and trims.

The pages are edged with different collages and dripping with laces and trims. I’ve embossed, stamped, and sewn many pieces to enhance the texture and interest. This journal has a very distinctive vintage romantic feel with an ethnic aura.

I hope you will find some inspiration from the creation of this journal on how you too can use these beautiful bundles and images in your creations.
