The Design Team at Creative Artiste Mixed Media
are back for 2022 and for my project I thought I would make
a cover for an old shorthand pad that has been
lying around for ages.
It is going to come in hand for all the notes I try and jot down
as I create for Design Team Projects or
just for my own reference.
Here's how it began
I cut out a piece of wc paper to adhere to
the front of my notebook.
Inked the AALL&Create Stencil
in Peacock Feathers, Spiced Marmalade
and Ground Espresso in different directions
adding more stamping and stenciled around the flower
with texture paste and again in ink
I cut out a second flower head
from Visible Image Creative Chaos
using the same oxide inks and adding shine
with Ranger Clear Rock Candy Crackle Paint
which didn't crack very well.
Decided to add some Art Alchemy Peacock Wax to the
centre of the flower and some beads
and a scattering of prills.
Die cut my Notes from an old CB alphabet die
onto a leftover scrap piece and adding a few more prills.
This was popped as was the flower head.
Glued to my notebook to complete.
This was a whole lot of fun.
Here are the stencils and stamps I used
Pop over and see what my Talented Team Mates
created this month and we would love to see you
add your project to the Gallery.

Ina, how wildly fun your new notebook cover looks! I loved reading how you worked it out. I’m such a bad guesser of how things are done artistically. You’ve got a grand mixture of mediums that have all come together so well. I love the design!
