Another day, another mini book created. This time I was inspired by some white metallic paint (it doesn't take much to inspire me at the moment). I painted the covers of this mini book, first with white and then with the metallic white and sat back to think about what next.
This is the finished book:
I wanted something elegant so I loaded up my script stamp with gold paint and stamped the covers and the spine
I had a napkin with a variety of black script on it so I tore it down to the last layer, tore the parts off that I wanted and adhered it to the covers with some matt finish modge podge (I love modge podge!)
I wanted some bolder black on the cover too so I stamped a variety of my postcard stamps with black Stayzon.
I then painted the edges of the book with a very fine paintbrush and some of the gold paint
For the pages, I used the Tando Creative innies pack and cut 8 strips using the larger template. I rounded the edges with a punch to give an even finish. I wasn't sure what I wanted in the book yet so I have left them blank.
I used some thick black cotton to wind along the spine and slip the pages in between, so they can be taken out easily for decorating at a later date. I used some double sided tape to adhere the ends of the cotton to the inside of the spine.
I love this elegant finish to this book and watch this space for what I do with the pages
