Absinthe Fae - Faery Ink
Absinthe Fae is such a great image it was perfect for an album cover!
I really really love now doing other stuff than cards :) I've become totally hooked! And this month I recycled a journal that I had for a very long time to give it to my oldest son's girlfriend. She really loves anything dark and fantasy So I figured this would be totally perfect.
Here it is colored with my copics. I also used stickles on the wings. The cover of the book was done with some recycled papers from a purchase at amazon and I used the Verday Paints on it. It gives a rusty finish due to some metal particles in the paint. I made this bronze have some verdigris.
I have aged the image as well because I really wanted this to look like an older book.
And here's a look at the book when it's open. I used an hairband to do the closure. And I added some little pouches and stickers that she can use to annotate it.
I'm entering this little book in the following challenges:
- Not just cards challenges - anything goes
- Simon says stamp blog - Anything goes
- Use your stuff - Anything goes
- That craft place blog - Mixed media
- We love 2 create - Anything mixed media

That's it for now but there's another post coming up so please do come back please!
