another note holder block

Again a little project with those gorgeous yummieh decoart products.
As a thank you for a coworker who is extremely kind and ready to help throughout the year I made a note holder.

It's from a wooden block that I painted with Americana tradidtions blue green light and media fluids phtalo green blue. Around the edges some reactive metallic paint was used to make it rusty. Then came a little bit of stamping that I covered with two step crackle, the cracks were highlighted with media fluids quin gold.
Those colours were also used to make the background for the cover, they were scraped onto cardstock with a palette knife.
Everything was sealed with media varnish utra matte and the cover was laminated.

A ring binder was also rusted and fastened with screws.
To fill the note holder I used cut up paper from my office work (upcycling is the keyword ;-)) to take notes and - separated by a postcard to color in - a stack of paper I had printed with doodle prompts.

Thanks so much for stopping by and having a look.
Sorry for the blurred pics, I'll try to replace them with better ones as soon as possible.
