ATC Dream Accordion Fold Book

This started as a magnetic telephone book purchased from Ruby Dog's Art House.


For the cover I used precious metals cardstock embossed with Diamonds in the Rough Cuttlebug embossing folder. Title is computer text on white cardstock and the frame is QuickKutz Squeeze die cut. This is mounted on the magnet cover and the back cover is mounted on a burgundy ATC.

I removed the accordion fold address pages and added my own accordion fold pages printed on a long piece of paper. The background is a scan of one of my painted backgrounds and my quote is computer generated text. The butterflies are stamped with Inkadinkado Patterned Bugs clear stamps set. Some of the butterflies are embossed with amethyst embossing powder.

One of the themes for the Feb Byhandartists monthly ATC swaps is "Queen of Hearts" in keeping with the blog challenge. Various backgrounds and 2 different digital images of Queen of Hearts, rubber stamps from Quietfire Design and sheer ribbon with heart rhinestones. This can be considered part ot the Queen of Hearts Challenge as well

Edit: I forgot to mention that the top 2 have sugar beads on the Queen card.

The doll was cut out and the face from Crafty Secrets "Altered Art" set was rubber stamped with Memento rich cocoa ink. The quote and flourish stamps from Quietfire Design were stamped with Ancient Page Cardinal or Memento rich cocoa inks. I then used a sponge to randomly colour in with Distress inks fired brick and weathered wood.
