Today I am entering the competition at the Sugar Bowl where they have this fabulous sketch.
I decided to make a mini book using one of Suzanne Woolcott's Gorjuss Girls.
I turned the sketch on it's side so that the vertical band is across the bottom and this is what I came up with:
All cardstock used is from the Bo Bunny ~ Beautiful Life collection. I created various layers to the cover by mounting the cardstock onto chipboard and inking and embossing the edges.
I turned the very centre panel into a little door by adding a hinge and door knob.
The Gorjuss Girl image I used is Bear Hug and I coloured her with my copics.What is behind the door?
For the band in the sketch I punched some circles using a circle punch, inked and embossed the edges and glued them in a strip across cover, layering slightly as I went.
Here is a picture of the back cover.
Finally, I bound it with my Bind-it-all and added some ribbons.
Thank you for looking.
