How to make a Leaf Print Journal Cover

Other Supplies: Acrylic Paint (Black), Gilding Wax (Bronze), Journal, Paintbrush, Water Spritzer

1. Die-cut out of black cardstock a variety of leaf elements from the Leaf Print die set. Die-cut enough leaves to cover the journal front as desired.
2. Water down some liquid adhesive until a glue solution is created. With a paint brush, cover the entire front and back of the journal cover with the solution and set it aside to dry.
3. Arrange and adhere the leaf elements to the front of the journal cover as desired (and the back cover if desired) with liquid adhesive.
4. Paint the front cover with black acrylic paint and set it aside to dry. Then flip the journal over and paint the back cover and set it aside to dry.
5. Apply bronze gilding wax over the whole journal cover with a finger tip. Add small amounts of wax and build it up until a desired effect is achieved. A small amount of wax goes a long way.
