Cover a Card: book cover

Hi, 
Back today with a book cover and a very cool technique which Linda chose to show you on her sample today.
I have not tried this myself (well, not with paint), but probably will, love the effect, isn't it gorgeous?
ok, over to you Linda...


Along with the Wallpaper Cover-a-Card stamp I used Lord Tim's Shabby Chic technique to create this simple Scrapbook Cover. I am a Cover-a-Card stamp virgin ... it may be my first time ... but it certainly aint gonna be my last ... No lining up and matching edges ... No hitting and hoping ... Just stamp once and you are good to go ... Perfick!

I painted two pieces of 6" by 6" board squares with Black Acrylic ... waited until it was dry and then stamped the Cover-a-Card plate in Versamark ink and embossed with clear powder. I then painted a layer of Eco Mulch and Pure Gold over the top and waited it for it to almost dry naturally. Next I spritzed with water and wiped with a soft cloth to resist the embossing. Simple!

  9. This book cover is stunning ! Opulent, vintagey, leathery, hints of metal... With these CC stamps the most difficult is to choose which ones to get !
