GD: Liesbeth Fidder Project #3 Scrap Notebook

"Hi everyone,  Liesbeth here. Sadly it has come to my final post as a PaperArtsy Guest Designer. The time has sure flown by".

Yesterday I promised to show what I made from a piece of beautiful painted paper, a left over from the wall hanging. Now by magic it's a small notebook .. a perfect gift don't you think!

Here's what I did - I stamped the shirt from LynnePerrella Collection 029 onto the left over Smoothy Heavy Weight White Stamping Card and also on a piece of white Shrink Plastic. For both I used Black StazOn Ink to stamp with, then I cut them out. 

I punched a hole at the top of the Shrink Plastic shirt and shrinked it with the heat tool, added a bit of colour with some Archival Inks and FrescoFinish Paint. For the cover and back of the notebook, I did the same "Peeled Paint technique" using petroleum gelly, as I did yesterday for the wall hanging. To make the pages, I stamped the shirt sevaral times onto a thin piece of printer paper, using light inks. I used Adirondack Cloudy Blue, Aqua and Sandal, I cut them out and sponged them a bit with Sandal. Next I punched a hole, added a swivel clasp and a tiny key as shown. I finished the notebook with a bit of Treasure Gold (Sapphire and Brass).

Some details ...and the finished notebook!

I really enjoyed being one of the Guest Designers for PaperArtsy, thanks a lot Leandra, it's been a very huge privilege and a big adventure to use your wonderful products! They are amazing and I hope I can do it again sometime.

Thanks very much to everyone who commented on my posts, I really enjoyed sharing my art with all of you! Hope you liked it. Can't wait to see what the next Guest Designers make!
