Delicious Doodles Day - First the Challenge

Yep - today in the Cubbyhole is the turn of Delicious Doodles to be featured.
First up is my piece made for the ANYTHING BUT A CARD challenge that starts today.
I altered a note book. One of those cheap and cheerful, bought for a pound, spiral bound notebooks. Maybe I should have thought about this and taken a "before" piccy, but I didn't. Oh well..........
This the "after" though.....

featuring the Delicious Doodles images "Steampunk Mermaid" and "Steampunk Heart"

Coloured using graph-it pens

The "NOTES" using a stencil and distress ink

The side

back

and inside did not go unadorned

here you can see the spiral binding 

I used the technique for faux leather as per Sheena Douglass. 

Three different embossing folders for the different areas.

Satin ribbon to tie it all together.

Job done

I'd like to enter this altered notebook into the challenge at
