Mixed Media Book Cover for 7 Dots Studio

Hi Everyone,
I'm up on the 7 Dots Studio blog with a new project and video tutorial.
I created this mixed media book cover using the Writer’s Block collection. 

Below is a step by step video video tutorial on how I created this cover:

I mounted the composition on a piece of corrugated cardboard I’d cut from a box. I used lots of mediums to alter it and make it look rusted and old. I wanted to have a book cover hooked on with large jump rings so I can attach beautiful greeting cards I’ve received from some friends around the world.

Here are some close-ups of the book cover:
