In the Garden Notebook (Hanna and Friends #224)

Hi everyone :-D

Today I am posting my fifth project as a Guest Designer at Hanna and Friends.

New challenge for this fortnight is #224 - Im Garten / In the Garden.

Our sponsor for this fortnight is Kulricke, with an awesome prize for one lucky winner: 15€ store Voucher. 

For this challenge I made this In the Garden Notebook.

I used beautiful image 'Sweet 'n Sassy' from Little Cottage Cuties Collection, illustrated by Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps. This one I got stamped on a thick paper from a friend.

I colored the image with colored pencils.

I made notebook covers from Kraft cardboard and glued white papers inside. Kraft cardboard is from an old box I had in my stash.

I distressed covers with Tim Holtz's Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy and sprayed whole surface with water.

After drying, I distressed edges of notebook with scissors, as well as papers I used to decorate notebook and edges around the image. At the end I embellished notebook with wooden flowers and butterfly.

Notebook dimensions are 95 mm x 120 mm (3 3/4" x 4 3/4").

• 'Sweet 'n Sassy' stamped image illustrated by Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps (this was a gift from a friend crafter)
