"bloom where you're planted".

I made this for a swap on art-e-zine. I'll post more pics of how it turned out when they receive it! I really enjoyed making it.
This chunky book was first decoupaged with newspaper & decorative tissue papers. Afterwards I painted over the pages with acrylic's. This is a good way to do a chunky because things stick better and it becomes more sturdy. Finally I used some rub on's on the cover and played with some stencils for the first time. I trimmed the book and made some bookmarks as well. This is a great activity for kids as well.
