Yellow.

This started out as a piece for my 100 Day Challenge this year (used 2 old yellow markers), but since I gave that up, I decided to make it into a mini book!

I've always loved this song (it use to make me cry b/c of the melody). The tricky part of coming up with layouts, but it all worked out!

The Right side is actually a lovely happy accident, as I had to cover up a mistake (ink that bled through from the back -- wish I had thought to take before pics). Even using acrylic paint to try and cover up didn't work, but luckily, the vellum paper did!

Close up of L side: lyrics ("Look at the Stars, Look how they shine for you. And everything you do.")

Close up of R side: Definition of the color yellow -- "a primary color often associated with happiness, joy and warmth."

Close up of back. More lyrics.
I don't really like the back much, as it too was covering a messed up part of the paper (this was actually a scrap piece of paper, and I thought about cutting off the cover to assemble a book with loose pieces, but figured out how to fix).
The used part was a blue brush "p" i initially tried covering with white, and that's when it bled through. And again, the paint didn't cover. So I got the idea to add torn paper. I just wish I would have extended to the top as well.

And here is a video showing it all together!
