Book Covers with Dee

Hi everyone I hope you are well and getting time to be crafty.

Our topic for the week is book covers.

I started with painting the main part with Deco media paints.

I used blue colour washes over the first layer which had been 

lightly stamped with Andy Skinners industrial stamps.

I used a compass stamp from my stash to place in the 

circular hole.

This was glued on to a Tando circle prior to being glued into place.

I tried to capture the old gold gleam that comes off the aged metal

the photo's don't quite capture it.

I used a metal compass that I had in my stash to go in the area

underneath the main focal point.

I had put crackle paste around the edges and painted them

I highlighted these with treasure gold. I did do the back

 but will show you that in a different post one thing I 

learnt is if you are doing a book always paint

 the base on both front and back at the 

same time.As they are slightly different 

colours.
