Decorated Notebooks

 

Decorated Notebooks - 

If the thought of any mixed media is daunting try doing a notebook cover.  Think of an A5 notebook as a card front and go from there.  It can be as flat or 3D as you want it.  This was my first attempt at any kind of mixed media project.

I used cardboard packaging and Sue Wilson steampunk range of dies cut out several times to make chipboard effect by sticking them together - at the time my stash was very limited and its and easy way to make a shape that you want.  I used some lace ribbon and a string of pearls along the border and some Tonic Nuvo drops to create embellishments.  Gilding wax to highlight.


This one was an attempt to go all out grunge and I used rust effect paint process from the Cosmic Shimmer range.  Again all the elements are several layers of die cuts stuck together before painting.
