Handmade Book

Warning - Photo heavy!

 

I handmade a small notebook for my sister.

Its purpose, so she could note what we did on holiday.

I made the pages using shaving foam & distress reinkers.

I did one side Milled Lavender,

let it dry well & then turned over

& repeated with Victorian Velvet.

I used PaperArtsy Stamps,

Finnabair stamps,

Donna Downey empowered word stamps,

Baroque Swirl stamp is by Inkylicious

I then stitched the book together using dental floss.

Here is the finished piece.

I tried to keep the book simple so that my sister had room to write.

She said the shaving foam made the paper lovely & silky, smooth to write on.
