Mini Book - as seen on TV & a Tutorial!

Hello!!!!  Have you seen the new mini books that we have just brought out?  I have been playing with the one that has a 'wrap around' style.  If you watched Di's show on Hochanda recently you would have seen it :D

I have also made up the tiniest Mini Book and written a PDF tutorial for you to use.  You can find it *HERE*.

Back to the leaf book:

I have used the pretty 'leaf stencil' to add some detail to the front and back.  You can also see the unique way that Di has cut the spine to bend in this photo.

 

I added some DecoArt paint and crackle glaze as well as a butterfly to the piece.  Inside I added a little book made using my Bind-it-All. This is an easy way if you are not sure about making books!

 



Then I added some fancy ribbon and a charm to finish it off.

Thank you for popping by, Karen xxx

September colour cards

I've done 2 cards for our colour theme as I wanted to do a gelli print background and it didn't work out first time:

I did a plain turquoise base then used orange paint on the gelli plate and stamped one of the stamps from the {Kaffee Klatsch Stamp set} onto the paint, then used the gelli plate like a stamp. I didn't press hard enough on the one on the left so got an incomplete print, so I let it dry for a minute then added some turquoise paint over the top, and put some card on it and gave it a really good press and got the one on the right. To be honest, I prefer this one!

I painted 3 butterflies from the {Mini Butterflies} with acrylic paint and stamped onto them and inked the edges.

I inked through the {Mini Leaves 1 Stencil} 3 times and cut a scallop border from another gelli print and used a digi image to finish.
