Good Morning! Each year I have a little notebook in which we record birds we see in the garden each month. I had forgotten to pick up a notebook but fortunately I found one that I had cast aside as I couldn't get the label off. I decided it would do but I could get creative with the cover.
Here it is before I started.
First I cut the white edges off one of the A6 catalyst cards. This one is from set 1
On a piece of white card I stamped the Doodle art rainbow bird and sunshine in Versafine Clair black ink .
I cut both out, leaving a small white border then painted them using Dina Wakley Gloss Drops, setting them aside to dry.
On a scrap of black card I stamped the sentiment and embossed in white. I trimmed this ready for adding to the notebook.
Finally I attached them all to the front of the notebook using Matte Medium. So much better don't you think?
I used:
A6 notebook
Versamark ink
I chose these bright colours as the current theme on the Bee Crafty Facebook challenge is 'Vivid', and I think this definitely fits the bill. The prize is a £20 stamp voucher, so definitely worth a go! I certainly won't lose the book, lol.
Thanks for looking!
This new front cover is so beautiful and bright with that wonderful bird and some lovely words for it to perch on Sally and perfect for your 2025 bird notebook. We have a robin which sings in the middle of the night in a tree just across the road, and it sounds so loud that if I'm awake I can hear it through even a closed window..such a beautiful sound when everything is quiet outside. x
