February’s book
I decided to recreate the faux leather book I made for Hochanda. I painted the cover in DecoArt raw umber, then used Seth Apter’s technique of mono printing different colours with a piece of canvas paper. I used various browns and black, printing repeatedly to get a nice aged, dirty look.
I cut a piece of calico to go over the spine and painted it black.
For the embellishments, I found a lock and key from the Tando minis and covered them with embossing powder. The minis are made from thin card so there’s enough room in the tower to store the book. I had to change my other book with two hearts on it as it didn’t fit! Then I used an embossing pen to randomly blob round the edges of the book and embossed these with Aged Gold embossing powder.
Thanks for stopping by!

February - Golden
Hellooooo, it's February already! How are you all getting on with the prompts? I hope you are enjoying them as much as we enjoy seeing all your take on them.
As its a new month it's also time for a new book and I have used the monthly theme GOLDEN as inspiration. This little book is so golden it glows hahaha!
I painted all the substrates using *METALLIC GOLD*. Unlike most gold acrylics this one goes on in one coat, I didn't even need to use gesso!!!!! Magic!!!!! Over the top of the cover and on one side of each of the folders I embossed a background pattern in gold. On the other sides I embossed the same pattern in cream to match the heart. Had to have a * HEART* as its February!
I had some gold metallic embroidery thread that I was going to use but it kept knotting so I used cream instead.
Thank you for looking and keep up the good work, Karen x
