Destination Inspiration - Arriving at Terminal 5


Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by, it's Julie here today from Juliz Design Post. We are arriving at our Fifth stop this month for Destination Inspiration.

Product : Ephemera/Collage Elements
Technique: Use A Brayer
Colour: Teal or Turquoise
Substrate : Card

 So let me take you through the stages of how I made my card.


I added some water to my paint to give an extra translucent look and brayered over my cardstock.


I attached a rubber band onto my brayer and applied some white paint.


Using my stencil I applied undiluted paint this time.


I tore my card into sections and tattered at the edges and added a little paint to them. I sprinkled some Frantage and heat embossed. Adding some lace on, along with machine stitching.


Adding a Cheery Lynn Doily to accent behind my layers.


Placing my layers onto my card with foam tape for added dimension.


Finishing off with my my collaged elements on my card.

I love at the end of each Destination Inspiration month how all our projects vary so much even though we have used the same colours and techniques.

Here is a collective of all our cards together.





Terminal 5 - Julie

Thanks so much for stopping by today.
Crafty Hugs,

    I just love your sewn on lace and the die cut doily Julie - it adds lovely texture and femininity to your project - wonderful collage elements and pretty butterflies poking out their wings! A beautiful project using the supplies in our travel bags this month! Julia xx

    Hi Julie, love your brayered backdrop and how,you tore the background into separate pieces and then added the doily, lovely touch. The brayered background with the elastic band works so well with the lovely cool blue. Lovely design and great use of the contents. Tracy x
