Creating the cover I decided to use a Seth Apter's Die of the large cog, I used the die again to cut another cog in heavy foil or shim to use under the zipper layer.
also used some cog die cuts to add some interest to the back cover
I created the faux leather attachment by following tutorials on you tube, adding stamped images, a zipper, and some hand stitching.
Then auditioned various embellishments, adding and removing bits until I liked what I saw.
It took a lot longer than I had anticipated, but once I was happy I attached the bits and pieces,
The title label was still empty until I finished, looking back I think I would have been better off embellishing the cover last, after all my text block was fitted. Having such a heavily decorated cover makes it difficult to work in.
