Hello, its Karen here with another piece from the LOVE & STUFF range. This time I have been playing with the really georgeous & versatile HEART/FLOWER MINI BOOK. It has a laser cut cover with removable heart shape and floral engraving. There are 5 additional chippie pages to decorate as well. This book hasn't been punched with any holes to make it even more versatile!!! I can think of so many ideas for this book, not just Valentines. In fact I have made this up as a present for my Mum. its going to be filled with lovely pics of her Grandaughters, Vikki & Millie.
I have used the 6x6 inch book but it also comes in a 4x4inch too.
I love that the heart comes out to be attached elsewhere if you want. The first thing I did was to trace the flowers & stalks off so that I had a pattern to replace them with card. I also took the heart out & covered that in a matching paper. The paper that I used to cover the covers I made up myself using a mix of distress inks & glimmer mists. I am not sure if the sheen shows in the pic but I was really pleased with the results. I edged everything with purple Brilliance Ink.
The piece behind the heart apperture is computer generated. I stuck my card flowers & stems in the original positions marked & covered with glossy accents, attaching paper roses & pearly gems as I went. The covered heart was stuck back on at an angle. The inside pages are covered with matching papers from K&Co.
The whole thing has been bound using my Bind It All but you could just as easily use rings or ribbon.
Thank you for taking a look. Do keep popping back to see some more gorgeous stuff from this range. HUGS XXX
This is gorgeous Karen, I love the way you have made the front yourself to perfectly match those papers xxx
ReplyDeleteKaren this is beautiful - I really like the choice of colours you have chosen and how you made your own background for the cover. I also like how you have attached the heart on the front slightly overlapping.
ReplyDeleteI have the 4x4" one to play with - you have given me loads of inspiration - Thanks!
That's sweet, Karen.
