A Little Book

Over at Out of a Hat Creations they are asking for a little book.  The actual brief that was plucked out of the hat was a domino book, but as some people don't have any dominoes they just went for a book no larger than 3" square.  Even though I have dominoes I chose not to use them as my Stampotique cutie was too big to fit on in his entirety.

I used the spring, summer and winter distress ink sets to colour a 12" x 2.5" strip of cream card.

I used the Crafter's Workshop stencils mini circle explosion and mini punchinella with phthalo blue (560.5) and violet shade (470.3) pan pastels.

I stamped images in black stazon from various T!m Holtz plates and the Stampotique hanging hearts stamp.

I then creased the 12" strip every 1.5" to create 8 sections.  I concertinaed these up to make the book.

The front and back panel which the character is adhered to was coloured with Artbars.

The Stampotique charatcters were stamped in black stazon on a separate piece of card, coloured with OHP pens, cut out and stuck onto the front and back panel of the book.

Finally I took a white pen and hi-lighted some of the stamped images.
