WATERCOLOUR BOOKLET PART 2

This fortnight is part 2 of the Watercolour Booklet which has 7 atc's in it.  The colour I used for this one is Peacock Feathers, even though it does look a little more like a cross between Tumbled Glass and Evergreen Bough! 
 
I worked out a way of closing the booklet by using some seam binding and colouring it with the Peacock Feathers so it all co-ordinated.  The only other colour I used was Brushed Pewter from the Distress Paint range applied with an aqua brush to give it a little more of a translucent look.  I also used a Stardust Gel Pen in Grey in a couple of places too.... like the dots on the front cover.  The tags hanging off the right of the first picture is the seam binding that acts as the closure to keep the book flat for when we put it into our Technique Book. 
 
 Love this technique and all the girls who created their own in class I'm sure will be very happy with the finished product.  I've said it in class before, this would be a lovely birthday gift for someone if you're prepared to do a little work and if you don't have appropriate stamp sentiments, simply type out the words you want to use and stick those down on the 7 atc's!

WATERCOLOUR BOOKLET

This technique will be run over two classes as there are 7 atc's to be made as well as a folded booklet that's made from an A4 sheet of paper.  We are using only one colour of Ranger Distress Ink Pad (shock, horror.... how can you choose only ONE colour!!!) and a metallic acrylic paint, I used Ranger Distress Paint in Brushed Pewter for my samples.  The idea behind this booklet is to let the sentiment (or word stamp) be the focal point with a 2nd focal point being your image stamp.  I love how simple and clean these look and can just see this being made as a birthday booklet for someone.  My first example has Rusty Hinge as the only colour and Brushed Pewter (silver) as the metallic accent colour.  Of course you'll need a Ranger Archival Black Ink Pad to do the stamping.
 
Here's the booklet completed...

These next two are two individual ones for my next booklet.  This
colour is "Peacock Feathers" and I've used the Brushed Pewter
Distress Paint again as a contrast metallic.
 

 
These last 3 are from the previous Rinse Aid class.  LOVE Canvas Pad Paper.
