I thought it would be a great idea to create a book for my passwords, since I always forget them.
I started with a small notebook.
To begin my book, I
picked the oval wood shape, sponged with Brilliance Lavender, blended with
Mediterranean Blue then highlighted using Starlight silver.
I then stamped on top
with a stamp from Stampin’ Up and used Galaxy Gold to really make it pop.
Then I cut a piece of
Vertigo and ran it through a Cuttlebug embossing folder. Next I sponged some
Galaxy Gold on it for color. Then, die cut a frame using a spellbinder die in
black to add another pop.
Now, on to transforming
the book! To Start, I cut a white piece of paper the size of the book and
sponged it the same way I did the wooden piece so they match.
I then used Galaxy
Gold to stamp the word stamp from Memory Box and a cute random motif stamp.
It seemed a little
flat to me so I next ran the paper through the embossing folder too. I love the
depth that it gave it. I then added a
little more Mediterranean Blue to the raised areas.
Next I sprayed it with Goosebumps for a beautiful
shine.
Next, I glued the
cover on the book, added the vertigo and the wood shapes with double sided
tape. I then added some funky yarn fibers and a little charm and tied it around
the mixed media journal.
