This week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme is to use your favorite color. Mine is absolutely, without doubt (and you'll see it in pretty much every project I ever make, in addition to seeing it painted on my house walls and fingernails) is Robin Egg's Blue, or any variation of those yummy turquoise tones. I made this notebook cover with hints of those colors, utilizing Tim Holz's Salvaged Patina paint (soooooo gorgeous).
Next I cut a section of this page to fit on the top of a little memo notebook I had in my stash. I added some paint to change the colors a bit. While that was drying, I cut out letters from Studio Light's Alphabet die set (Art by Marlene) to spell out the word "grit." I painted the letters in dark turquoise. I also made some stenciled polka-dot paper using Tim Holtz's Salvaged Patina paint and his Halftone stencil.
I ended up making a scallop border with the polka-dot scraps and some other doodled-on leftovers I had. I sewed the collage page to the cover of my notebook, then glued the scallop border onto the bottom. I glued the "grit" letters onto the front and added some hot pink dots as a final touch.
