A Little Birthday Book

This was a little mini book I made for Jo's birthday. I love how it turned out and it is fairly small and dainty. I used a page from a book which is over 80 yrs old and a colour catcher from the washing machine as the cover dyed with tea.

Paper Whimsy Fabric Arch Swap

I'm doing a swap on the Paper whimsy forum and it is to complete a fabric Gothic Arch with a charm - the charm is still in the thinking process but this is the arch which is 1 of 3.

The Paper Whimsy Forum have a bimonthly quote 5x5 challenge running from 30th March. The first quote is: If you cant teach me to fly, teach me to sing. I almost got it right LOL. I have used a distressed and collaged background with an acetate transfer on top, it came out like a gloss finish which I really like. It is then embellished and the paper whimsy image added. TFL.
