Thoughts and Feelings notebook with video tutorial

http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/mondaychallenge/
Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Touchy Feely".



This weeks theme can be interpreted in different ways. Like a project with a lot of (soft) texture that you would like to touch and feel. I've taken the liberty to rename this challenge into Thoughts and Feelings. I altered the cover of a standard notebook and made it into my Thoughts and Feelings notebook.
 

As the first step, I've used over 20 different washi tapes to make a pattern for the background.
I wanted a colorful cover, so I've used four fun and bright paint colors: Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions Paint and Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry and Cracked Pistachio Distress Paint. Before that layer, I had another 4 color Opal Magic paints applied, but nothing of those paints are visible anymore.
 

Because it's gonna be used alot, I only wanted to work with permanent mediums, and therefore made the edges with Faber-Castell Big Brush black. That's also why I chose for paint for the background. Lastly, I've used up all the old rub ons that I've had for ages. To make sure that they stay in place I put a coat of Mod Podge over it.
