Hi! I created this stamped mini book for Paper Wings Productions. I took a month-long online workshop hosted by Nathalie Kalbach called Creative JumpStart. I absolutely loved starting my day with a short video from an inspired artist. The theme this year is Now We're Cooking: Mixed Media Art Recipes. The recipe that I tried for this project is from the amazingly talented Birgit Koopsen. I really enjoy creating mini books and I thought this design was just fantastic. This is a wonderful project for those times when you can't choose which stamp set to use. I was able to celebrate so many of my favorite sets on this piece to create a fun mixed-up book of mini art.
I chose to use a clip art image on the front of this book, rather than create a stamped cover similar in design to the inner pages. This cute photo of a girl and her bird caught my eye. I kept the cover simple, adding only a red vellum heart and ribbon closure. I think this plain, mostly black and white cover, makes the colorful pages of the book more of a surprise upon opening.
If you'd like more information about the stamp sets that I used on this project, please click over to my post on the Paper Wings Productions blog.
