Lots Of Layers

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  SUMMER SUN Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

This week the challenge is: LOTS OF LAYERS

I created a little folio book to keep track of your summer reads, or to keep track of the books you want to read. I thought it would make a fun gift for an avid reader.

REMEMBER THIS STORY 

I began with a collage layer using Tim Holtz Archives tissue paper. Next up, some ink smooshing with Simon's Ocean ink. 

I added a second layer of ink smooshing with Simon's Mocha ink. 

Next up, a painty layer....I used Simon Says Stamp's In the Round stencil with the Tangerine paint. Then, I smudged white paint over some areas. I am always inspired by teamie Andrea's excellent use of white paint on her makes. 

Then, it was a matter of placing the accordion book and holder with some tags into place.  

I added a tiny clothespin and the word KNOW to the accordion book section.  

An assortment of tags for more jotting space... 

The accordion fold book for lots of notes... 

Back cover... 

Front cover...

I added the chipboard words and letters for READ, some washi tape  and a hand dyed ribbon all nicely grunged up.. 

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a $25 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
