A MIXED MEDIA NOTE BOOK COVER..


Hello everyone..

Today I'm sharing a step by step mixed media cover for a note book..and I started with cardboard..a cut up cardboard box..
                                                                              



This is another piece of card board as I forgot to photograph the first one..so I'm sharing between 2 projects..




Painted with white Gesso...twice.



Then added torn up papers and random lacy die cuts..


Some leaves, oval die cut and more oddments...lace and a pearl trim.


                                                                               

Flowers, an earring, bobbles, and a frame just slap it all on randomly..


Then painted the whole thing again with Gesso....and didn't like it.



So I slathered modelling paste all over just with a spatula


when dry[ didn't take long]..the fun stuff started, my Kaiser mists.. gorgeous colours.



Sprayed all over the outside and inside..



A close up..even the pearl trim takes sprays and gets covered..





I added a resin oval frame in the middle which did make a difference and sort of finished it off after it got a coating of Nuvo mousse ...


So did everything else, I love that stuff and cannot wait until my new colours come..




A close up of the frame from The Resin Embellishment shop..





And there she is in all her glory with a note pad stuck inside already to take notes and write in, but I cant...it's too pretty.

So there we go, thank you so much for stopping by, I'm off to make more cogs..

Luv CHRISSYxx

    Hi Chrissy, this is absolutely fabulous, I love what you have done it will make a great cover. You know I am just waiting on a note book I ordered for a cover I made last week, nothing as fancy as this, but I found a piece of paint pouring I had done in 2019 and had to find a use,usually I would just make the insert but really cannot be bothered...xx
