thatsjustpenny Victorian Seamstress journals

I have just finished two journals for the thatsjustpenny Design Team using the Victorian Seamstress digi-kits along with a mad array of embellishments and ephemera.

Each one consists of four signatures ( the folded pages nested inside each other) stitched together and bound into covers that show the signatures. I shall be posting videos showing how to make these books.

But in the meantime here is a video:-

Steam Punk Chunkies for ATCsforall

I love Steam Punk and its links to Victoriana/Gothic.

These 4" x 4" cards have a variety of distressed backgrounds from Tim Holtz and Dover publications collage sheets, which also gave some of the crazy Victorian images. I had a couple of old drawings I had done previously of steam punk heroines, so I scanned these in after colouring them.
Finishing touches were text from old encyclopaedias and bits of old watches etc.
