This weekend I played around some more with my favorite fabric paper and my very favorite digital grounds, and combined the two together to make a lovely journal cover.
I collaged together an image in Photoshop …
… and printed it onto a sheet of fabric paper treated with digital grounds.
Added a few beads, decorative fibers and other embellishments; and it’s done!
Lovely surface texture.

Hi Linda…….wonderful journal cover!
I took your fabric paper class and loved every minute of it, Thank You!
How were you able to feed the fabric paper through your printer?
It seems like it would be too thick?
Any tips or hints for me?
I definitely want to give this a try….
Many Thanks for your Reply,
LuAnn

Thanks LuAnn, yes printing on fabric paper has a little “trial and error” involved. My HP printer refuses to print on it, but my Epsons and my Lexmark are fine with it. I’ve had to experiment a lot with various thicknesses and layering of the fabric paper until I’m now satisfied with my results, but there really is no “exact” process. My best advice is to prepare lots of small samples with varying layers and thicknesses and try them out on your printer until you find a recipe that works for you.
