Secret Garden



'Alter It' is the new challenge over at
 Fashionable Stamping Challenges.
Now as this post is going to include a few photos I won't bore you with a photo of the packaging that went into the bones of this book.
Please pop over and see what my DT sisters have been making and get all the details, including the super store voucher from our sponsor Flonzcraft.
As you know we like to see stamping on your entries, this time my stamping is all inside  the book.




The packaging was covered with Graphics 45 papers, then I gave the doily a face lift by adding some Aged Aqua embossing powder, I used the same colour for the frame.
Now to the inside

All the pages were made in the same way.
The base layer given a light shading using pans pastels.
I then used a Stampers Anonymous stamp to make a random pattern over the page.
This was heat embossed  with a pale green powder from Woodware.



I used a variety of stamps for the word panels, by
Stampers Anonymous and Crafters Companion
All the images were printed on to canvas, they came from Crafters Companion CD's and are the art work of Christine Haworth.




This little book reached its destination earlier this week and is now re- homed with Valerie ,  it was made with love that just had to be shared.

Thank you for stopping by, I always appreciate the comments that you take time to leave.
