Friendship Polaroids - Art Journal by Nina

 Hello crafty friends, Nina here and today I am starting a new journal in which I will color the Windows sceneries from Art Impressions' Windows Stamp Sets. Each page will include a window scene in a polaroid picture frame and the theme will be Friendship.

For the journal pages I used the largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Double Stitched Die Set which is perfect for my Polaroid Picture to fit in with some decorations and a sentiment.

I stamped the Window scenery image from Island Window Stamp Set using my Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my Mini Misti and colored it using my Copic Markers.

Shades:

Green Combos: YG03 & G43, YG23 & YG25, YG67 & YG17, G09 & G14

Orange: YR24 YR04

Yellow: Y17 & Y08

Pinks: R22 R14

Blues: BG13 BG15 BG11 BG10 B01 B04 B00 

Browns: E99 E29 E19 

Grey:C1

To create the polaroid picture I cut the image using the square die from the Shadow Box Windows Die Set and placed it on a scrap of paper that I cut using my paper trimmer measuring: 2.75 inch X 3.25 inch and placed my image towards the top of the rectangle to make it resemble a polaroid picture. I backed my polaroid picture with a foam scrap and attached it to the journal base. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Friendship Sentiment Set on a banner I cut using a die from Journal Template Die Set. I also used multiple mini dies from the same set to decorate all around my art journal elements. I also added couple heart shaped enamel stickers.

I used my disc bound hole punch to make three holes on the top of my art journal page and added three discs to attach more future pages that I will create.

Love your idea for the journal Nina. Both using the window scenes and put my own pictures in the Polaroid die on each page. Beautiful coloring of the beach scene.
