The leaves are from Papertrey's Turning a New Leaf...a wonderful set for CAS stamping. I used three shades of ink from Memento, plus brown, and heat set the ink with an embossing gun. The simplicity of the design keeps the focus on the words, while the touch of color (canteloupe, lavender, and pear tart) adds interest.
The book is a gift for a friend who has done me several favors over the past few months and who prays for me and my family every single day. She gives amazing hugs, too. So thank you, Audrie, for giving me this little blank book. You blessed me and my friend with it!!!
Great idea! Your friend will love these encouraging words.

ReplyDeleteWhy do you heat set it? Does it make it water resistant? Just wondering...
ReplyDeleteThe book reminds me of the ones my mom used to make for me when I was little; they were made from old diapers, she pinked the edges (with pinking shears), starched the pages and then used cut out pages from magazines for pictures. This warmed my heart and put a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
