I used canvas on the binding coloured with Tea dye distress ink and paper from a long ago bundle of papers from Costco. The paper had birds on it and was a bit staid so I stamped some Butterflies from my Darkroom door set and just lightly stamped again, re-inking every second stamp. The rosette was cut using the Tim Holtz die and I used the sketchbook tissue tape on the right side. It was all finished off with a creative expression stick pin and jewel in the middle. I was very pleased with the folder but I have noticed my sister eyeing it up, she doesn't craft but really appreciates all she receives so it may be going her way!
I'm entering this for the Craft room colour challenge using orange, brown or cream.
Wonderful a real treasure to keep your treasures in, not sure your sister should have this one unless are planning an upgrade! thank you for sharing with us at Craft-Room Challenge XOXO Zoe
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful Bev, and perfect for keeping your tags in. I love how you've altered it - I'd be keeping this one for myself! Thanks for joining us over at the Craft-Room Challenge, and good luck.
