Tropical Journal

One of the crafting groups I participate in has a weekly challenge.  This week, it was to create a journal in a tropical theme using three envelopes.  I made a poor start as I first selected envelopes that were too flimsy; a second try had better results.  Here is mine, finished this morning:

From the outside, tied with a ribbon.

Inserted journal cards. The one at center bottom looks like a mountain, but it photographed much darker than the sandy color of watercolors on deli paper that I had created; the slope  is intended to be under the sea.  The journal card itself was a gift from a fellow junk journal maker.   The pelican is hand painted.
