VALENTINE'S DAY COUNTDOWNS

I can't believe I have posted nearly a full month of Valentine's Day projects on the Blade Rubber Blog!

I put up these two Japanese stab-bound albums, as everyone seemed to like the last one, so rather than repeat all the general instructions here, perhaps you'd like to check them out via this link.

This is one of my favourite book forms - hard or easy, depending on what effect you want to achieve.

Easiest is to paint, gesso or swipe inkpads onto mountboard or greyboard (chipboard, Daveyboard) , then go ahead and collage/stamp over the top, as with the Ruler Book, below.

Harder is to cover with paper, as you need to create a separate spine. The results are so worth it!
