Doors spread finished.

My door spread for my soul journal is finally (maybe) finished. I added to the page with a ball point biro.
I went for cirles on this door surround, I added hearts from my photocopies, and sewed buttons for handles.
I added to this door, made a surround to make the frame stand out. I also added the cross hatching in the corners and the hearts. I used a fork to make the marks in light green.

Love the way the words elegant and stylish ended up on these doors.


I decided for the inside of the other door I would do a similar thing to the other one I showed you the other day, and it is below, for you to see as I have added tape to the doors. The inside of the doors above have dried pressed flowers from my holiday in the pockets. They fell on our balcony, and I pressed them and then so far the bright pink colour has stayed, I hope it does, maybe as they dried so quick, it was 52 degrees out in Zante so maybe!



and here is the other door with added tape! I love how these turned out and so grateful to Sarah for what i have learned. I don't think I have copied Sarah'sstyle, which is the best bit, mine and her's don't look at all alike, and this really pleases me as i feel like finaly maybe I am finding something of my own style, I feel like I made this mine.

Carol, this is a very beautiful spread. The doors are so gorgeous you want to reach out to touch them and then look inside. Wonderful!
