ATC Book For The Swap at The Grind

Edit: A happy event for me is that this also fits the Byhand Challenge for this week.
Still keeping with the string theme for the ATC swap at the Grind I had some fun with this little book. The front cover is recycled cardboard with a piece of gift bag paper glued on. A small piece of branch from my yard is stitched on with linen thread.

Inside cover and first page and next pages are from a coffee advertising flyer and Kraft cardstock. assorted rubber stamps are used with Memento Potter's Clay ink.

More of the same papers and parchment cardstock with computer generated info.

More of the same papers and the back cover showing the orange waxed fibre used for binding.

The design challenges for the June swap of The Vancouver Artist Trading Card Group are Sun, Sand and String. I have chosen string for my cards. The background for these is from a tissue box and the words are stamped on several strips of cardstock, These are cut into one inch squares and glued to the background. The jute string is then tied around.
