Day 24-A Little Pamphlet Book with Sanded Covers

I made this simple little pamphlet stitch book today because I wanted to play with the really cool paper I found at Jo-Ann's. It's two-sided, red on one side, black on the other. And the black side can be torn, sanded, scratched, etc. to reveal the red.

The word "Ideas" on the cover is simply scratched onto the paper with the point of an Xacto knife. I scraped some of the black off in places with the knife, too, and sanded it with medium grit sand paper. I like the torn edge best, where it shows the core red. The book has 20 text-weight pages and is stitched with red thread in a single signature with a pamphlet stitch and a black/white/red porcelain bead on the spine.
