I started with a black Dylusions journaling tag, which I stenciled some polka dots onto with white paint. I smeared some white paint around the polka dots, too.
These journaling tags are good-sized, so I was able to cut three notebook covers out of the tag. Next I added strips of Dyary tape and Dylusions Washi tape. After than, I smeared on Dylusions paint in a variety of colors.
I stamped some words from the Dylusions Say it How it Is stamp set and glued them onto a square of black and white patterned paper. I also added some more smears of paint.
I made little scallop embellishments by stamping text from 49 & Market's Stamp Set 2: Captured Adventures onto white cardstock, then cutting it into scallop shapes and outlining it with a black Sharpie.
I outlined my sentiment boxes with a Uniball white Signo pen and then sewed the covers to the notebooks, along with sewing some straight line designs onto the notebook backgrounds. I also added some black dots to the bottom of the sewed lines.
