I didn't like it...so I changed it!..

Hi everyone,

How was your day?..good?..mine was good...thanks for asking!:).

I made this a while back but didn't show you...so here it is at last.

It started life as a plain pink sketch book from the Co-Op and is now living its life as one of my favourite ArtymeB Makes! 

I didn't like it...so I changed it!

I used my brayer on the background with many of the blue/green fresco paints from PaperArtsy...sorry I can't tell you exactly what paints I used on this but the stenciled flower heads were Antarctic and Baltic blue. The leaves were Guacamole and Hyde Park.

The border was the squiggly line stamp from a PaperArtsy Squiggly Ink stamp plate.

To attach the paper to the book I used a hot melt glue gun as that's the only thing I thought would hold it.

Before I attached it, I buzzed the painted card through my sewing machine on the zig-zag stich and created a really textured edge and finishes the main book off nicely...I think anyway!..

After it was assembled I painted the whole book with satin glaze to give it a protective layer. Then painted the flower heads with metallic glaze and the leaves were painted with pearl glaze to give them an extra something!

To keep the book shut I attached two identical pieces of ribbon (using a normal stationary stapler) to both sides of the cover.

I hope you like this and will be back tomorrow with another project, until then...Happy Thursday!

ArtymeB Xxx.
