Decorated Notebook

I bought 4 notebooks for £1 and decided to decorate one.  I used paper and chipboard letters from Papermania and a Tilda image.  I deocrated the chipboard letters with Mardi Gras Art Glitter and covered them with Anita's 3D Clear Gloss Finish to stop the glitter from coming off.  I coloured Tilda with Copics and added some matching glitter to her bow and a touch of Crystal glitter to the frill on her sleeve.  As this is going to be a working notebook I didn't want to put too many embellishments on the front so decided not to add any flowers and to keep it quite plain. 

I hope you like it, I would like to enter it into the following challenges
