1) Cut 2 pieces of Harlequin Grungeboard to measure
6" x 4 5/8".
2) Cut paper to measure 6" high and then tear the right
edge at 4 ½". For this book I've prepared 50 sheets but you
could make it thicker and then just use a larger wire.
3) Punch grungeboard cover and inside sheets along the left
side using the Bind-it-all machine.
4) Paint covers with metallic bronze Lumiere.
5) Remove 2 flourishes from Elements pack of Grungeboard
and paint black with Neopaque.
6) With images from
I write you letters design elements,
mini images collection,
life journey words,
six gentle words set, and
inscribed hand
stamp the bottom right corner of every inside page using sepia
ink. To keep the images and words light, stamp each one on scrap
paper once and then onto book page.
7) Stamp life is not measured on white cardstock with
black ink, trim, layer onto copper cardstock and
then onto glossy black cardstock*.
8) Punch seven ¼" circles from glossy black cardstock*.
9) Add layered saying, flourishes and circles to cover as shown
using gel medium.
10) Bind book using bind-it-all.
* You get a much nicer, finished edge on the
cut or punched glossy black cardstock if you color the edges
with a black marker.
