Techniques used: stamping, freehand doodling, distressing & journalling.
I sanded both sides of the plastic cover of the book to ensure my tape stuck to the surface. It is too slick otherwise and the tape wouldn't hold.
Paint was applied roughly with my finger around the sanded edges of the pp on the front cover. Two coats of DM were applied over the word "art".
The edges of the pp on the inside front cover were distressed with the distressing tool.

Credit for this idea goes to my friend Jo, who wanted to sign my "Celebrate the Little Things" book from retreat. As that particular book is for my own personal stuff, I needed to create a new book for my friends to write in. Thus, this book was created! Thanks Jo, for the inspiration!!!
