It's Crew Member Saturday and I can't believe that we are already in March and having our 3rd guest designer post of the year!
Today we have Andrea who has a bold and colourful style and uses lots of texture. If you don't know Andrea then click here to find the links to her beautiful and eye catching art!

I had an English professor who taught me to always carry a notebook with me for recording my thoughts and ideas. This lesson has stuck, so I love making notebooks that reflect my love of words and art. This is a store-bought notebook that I made a snazzy cover for.
I started by using the Background with Circles stamp. I stamped and heat-embossed some circles onto white and black background paper, then colored in some of the circles with acrylic paint and added some scraps of Washi Tape.
Next I cut out the circles and some rectangular scraps.
With my accent pieces cut out, I started on my background. I glued scraps of text paper to my cover page and rubbed white paint through the Triangle Mesh stencil.
When the paint dried, I stamped Balloon Flowers onto my page (very lightly- just enough to figure out the placement). I added some Brushos watercolor crystals and spritzed the page with water.
I finished the page off by coloring the Balloon Flower lines with a Black Sharpie and gluing on the circles and rectangles. I added some bright-colored smears of ink and paint. When the paint dried, I sewed the cover to my notebook.
