Mini Book

Above shows a mini-book that we did at our “Design and Treasure” class on Friday night.  It was alot of fun!  It only measures around 4″x4″.  We used cardstock for the cover, and a few pages cut from copy paper.  For the cover, just fold the cardstock in half, then fold about 1/4″ back from first fold.  (Fold again. )   We took a piece of white cardstock, and colored with a few colors of alcohol ink, using a felt pad stamp.  We squirted the blending solution over the cardstock before stamping.  We started this layer with a silver metallic pen, just dotted over the surface.  After applying the alcohol ink, we stamped butterflies in black. 

Layer a small piece of black cardstock over this layer, and use same alcohol technique for small top layer.  There were two stamps used on the top layer.  Small butterfly was stamped at random.

Brads were used for the binding.  We colored the brad tops with alcohol ink.
