Challenge up your life: Challenge #28 White & Gold

Hello Crafters,
guess what, it's Challenge time again. This week's theme is: 


Challenge #28 White & Gold

 

over at
 


I have a different project for you today, no card, but a book.




I die cut the letters and stars from fun foam and adhered them to a cheap notebook from the Dollar store. Then I covered the front and back with one layer of a paper towel and lots and lots of Mod Podge. I made sure to create some nice wrinkles in the paper.

Then I painted the finished cover with acrylic paint and as a very last step I lightly brushed on some gold acrylic paint.

To hide the mess I made on the inside of the cover, I simply adhered a piece of scrapbook paper. 



I created three notebooks this way, to give away for Christmas. The others are in colour, so they don't match the challenge, but I'll show them anyway, just to make the set complete.


And the Insides

 Now I'm looking forward to your creations in Christmasy elegant white and gold!

Have fun
Ela

  1. This is a great technique! You gave these cheap notebooks such a great impression! I am so happy that I was asked to support CUYL as guest designer for two months. Thank you!
