Accordeon Me Book

The inside of the card:I have used the Floral shoe stamp and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I really like this stamp as it is very different and quite unique.I have also used clever cut stamps which gives a vintage feel to this piece of work as vintage is one of my favourite theme. I had some Blue Cardigan design sheet (BCD047- impressionist quote) which I have used as layers.They are quote about artists and Art. I have used a piece with the lettere T as my name starts with T as well.I dont think you could see it on this picture but on the right hand side, I have used versamark ink and chalk to reveal a butterfly stamp.These pages here are the techniques I enjoy working with and the quote about the artists represent the other side of me, my artistic side. I have also included so brads as they are easy to use but yet very effective. They can be an embellishment on their own.

Accordeon Me Book

This is my first accordeon book.I wanted to do one where I would try a new theme and/or technique on each page.I wanted this book to represent what I like and what I am fascinated about in the cardmaking world. The front cover has got one of my favourite stamps which is a rose stamp by Rubber stampede.It is such a beautiful stamp and so versatile as well. I couldnt resist the urge to try a decoupage technique with it which I have and i think it came out alright though it was a bit tricky.I highlited it with some gold paint.Then I used the chipboard alphabet T (as my first name start with T)and after I have covered it with some light paper, I scribbled about 'Time' on it.I finished off with some shrink plastic stamped images.You will find the rose image again in the shrunk version, the rest are the See D's stamps.I threaded the shrink images on some wire and fixed them to the bottom. Et voila, thats my front cover finished.

I have used vellum and have done a pop up style which is normally used in a full star book version.
