Antique Brackette Shape Book...


I designed a new custom die for making books, cards and more...the Antique Brackette Shape is approx. 6x6...More projects are in the works...
I cut one of the chipboard shapes and two of the cardstock shapes in half to make this book...i then covered each piece with coordinating pattern paper and cardstock...I punched holes with my bind it all...I sponged all the edges lightly with brown ink...
This is the book cover so far...I made some faux ribbon using my Martha punch to decorate the edges of the green strip, covered a piece of cardstock with patterned paper and die cut the Sizzix frame, added decorative brads to attach the photo...I stamped the Amazing Grace on the cardstock ribbon strip and added some flowers...
I added a thin strip of green cardstock, layered the photo onto pink cardstock, distressed the edges and sponged with brown ink...
I had to take some "boo boo" face pictures...LOL...This baby only cries if she is hungry or tired...otherwise, she is a happy baby...so I grabbed the camera and took advantage of that face...
I covered some more cardstock with pattern paper and used the Sizzix die cut frames, added the top one to a round punched shape, perfect for the look of the background paper, and then added the punched piece to the side of the bottom frame, just for interest...I will add more foo foo, and still have to finish the other pages, will share those when I do...
