We are focusing on rainbows this week for our Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. I made a notebook cover using Whimsy Stamps' Boho Rainbow dies.
Next I used black Strathmore Mixed Media paper to cut out a piece that was the same size as the notebook I wanted to cover. I embossed some white text on the front with a Tim Holtz stamp called Theories, embossing ink, white embossing powder and a heat tool. I also tore off a scrap to use from the leftover collage I'd made for last week's project. See what I mean about collage scraps? They are the gift that keeps on giving!
I glued the big scrap to the middle of my cover. Next I stenciled some white dots onto my black background using Tim Holtz's Gradient Dots stencil and some white paint. I smeared on more acrylic paint in bright colors and added another collage scrap (stamped numbers) to my pieces.
I glued everything down and added some scribbled circles and lines. I finished it off with a sentiment I cut from Dina Wakley's ledger paper, set 2. Then I sewed my cover to my notebook and this little notebook re-do was done!
