Gorgeous Grunge Notebook Weekend Project

Here's a fun weekend project.  I took a small 2-1/4" x 4" notebook that I had gotten at Oriental Trading a long time ago and I thought I would dress up the front of it. 

I took a piece of Whisper White and stamped the drops of liquid image on it.  Then I stamped some Daffodil Delight dots all over it and finally I stamped the grid from "Off the Grid". I used VersaMark to stamp it and then I embossed it using gold embossing powder.  

Next I mixed up some Tempting Turquoise and rubbing alcohol and sprayed a little of it on the paper.  While that was drying I took out my Washi tape and decided what colors I was going to use and cut a very thin strip of Tempting Turquoise card stock.  I got out my candy dots and I was ready to add the tape.  I wanted to give the card stock a little time for the alcohol to evaporate. 

I stamped the word "notes" on the top corner.  It was from a stamp I had made via Stampin' Up! a few years ago.  Next I taped the piece on top of the notebook.  Then I added the tape and the turquoise strip and then the dots.  The dots did not want to stick to the tape so I used Crystal Effects to set them in place.  

For the final touch I added the yellow gingham Washi tape to the spine of the notebook.  It was exactly what the notebook needed.  It was finished!  SO simple and so quick too!
