Sweet Pea Book


Hello folks.  We have another challenge at One Stitch At A Time so how about popping over to see all the fabulous creations by the design team.

Challenge #207

Flowers

Our sponsor this week is the StitchyBear Digital Outlet with a prize of $9 to spend in the store.  To win this prize you MUST use a digi from the StitchyBear Digital Outlet.  A second prize of $3 to spend in the StitchyBear Digital Outlet will be given to an entrant who does not use a SB product.

For this weeks challenge I have used the digi Sweet Pea by Stitchy Stamps and available from the Stitchy Bear Digital Outlet.  Instead of making a baby card with this adorable digi I decided to try something new.  A few weeks ago I picked up a pre made book, the type I think are for decoupaging as I thought it wold make a nice change to making cards all the time.  I had in mind it would be perfect for a special birthday, baby or Christening project.

I started off by painting the whole book white.
 I then covered the back with so pale green leaf organic paper which a friend brought back from Thailand for me, what a lovely gift <g>.
 Next I printed the verse and digi. The digi was coloured with Promarkers and then both sections were cut using Spellbinders Labels 1.
 Out with some baby ribbon and flowers which I airbrushed with the same Promarker colours as I used in the dig.
Next some lace and the same treatment - airbrushed with Promarkers.
With everything ready it was time to assemble.  I added a ribbon bookmark with a nappy pin at one end and two small mauve hearts.  I also airbrushed the sides of the book to give the impression of pages.
 And here is the finished project :)  I also added Liquid Pearls around the two cut out areas for a bit of glam <g>
