Aloha Sistahs!!!
First off, just a few reminders of the super sales going on right now in the Queen's castle.... 35% off ALL Acrylic Stamps and 50% off all Clearance items. Check it out, and take advantage of these great deals today, you will love what you see!!!
Ok, for today's creation, I am using the Fantasy Palm Tree, which right now is on sale for less than $2!!! Wow - that's a steal!!!! Ok, I use this image to be the main focus of a lil' notepad cover. I colored the image with my Copic markers, and then glam up with some stickles. I'm addicted to stickles...can you tell!??! I wasn't sure if I should do this image on it's own, but I did, and am happy with the way it turned out.
Ok, so here's how I did it....
Stamp image...
Color image.... I used these copic colors:
Measure the notepad (3" x 4")"
Measure it's thickness using the Scor-Pal, I found 2 score lines that were about the width of the notepad.
Cut flap for the top (3" x 2-3/4") n' score 2 lines (the width of the notepad). This is the flap that will go over the top, and cover the "spine" of the notepad.
Cut 2 brown card stock pieces, 1 for back of notepad, and the other for the front. Add double stick tape in all the right places, and adhere.
Notepad is ready for some embellishments:
Embellished with Dew Drops, and Stickles..... n' my lil notepad creation is done!!!
