I went to a fall festival today and visited several antique shops. I found an old book in one, I have been seeing cards on several blogs using old book pages and wanted to give it a try. Not only is the book old, it had no cover so I don't know what it was but appears to be written in German so hope the text is decent--since I don't speak or read German. Anyway, I cut a portion of a page and stained it with Distress Ink tea dye. Flower paper is from The Rustic Stack (DCWV). Butterfly: Stamp Affair, colored with Tombow markers and edged with the Distress Ink. Tied of with brown organdy bow. I for sure will be using more of the book pages-lots of them, it has 930 pages.
Hope you don't mind me stopping by your blog to tell you about Papercraft Star (just in case you don't already know!) We'd love to have you enter some of your inspired projects in our challenges there. We're also having a DT call soon and want to tell papercrafters like you about the call! There is still time to enter our PTI gift certificate drawing too! http://papercraftstar.blogspot.com/2010/09/another-gift-certificate-give-away-at.html
