I got the border and the sun on the front cover from this book, the peacock on the front and the fairy on the back I found on Pinterest (currently the board that I have them pinned to is private, so I can't share the links, but I think I searched for coloring pages).

I traced them onto tracing paper, then turned the paper over and used a soft lead pencil to trace the design (backwards) on the back of the paper. Then I placed the tracing paper, soft lead side down on the brown craft paper for the cover, and went over the design again with a regular pencil, which transferred the soft lead from the back of the tracing paper to the craft paper. Then I went over it (again.....) with a pen or marker depending on how thick I wanted the lines. There are ways I probably could have skipped a step - like if I didn't mind having the design "backwards", or of I had the ability to print the designs mirrored (or directly onto the craft paper) I could have just started by tracing with the soft lead pencil and saved myself a tracing.

Once it was drawn, I crumpled the paper a couple of times, rubbed over it with the side of a brown crayon, then ironed it - it almost came out to be too small to fit - the crumpling shrunk it a lot more than I thought it would (half an inch of both length and width).
