Dutchdare Challenge 24

This week's Dutchdare challenge is to use 3 flowers on your card.
I haven't made a card, rather scrap pages for a scrapbook that I am making for one of my closest friends.
I have made the book using my bind it all and cream hammered card. The pages have had the edges inked in gold ink.

I have used Prima flowers and Papermania's warm nostaglic papers. The tag was made using my sizzix die and the scroll stamps are from Hero arts. The tag is plain on the back so some journalling can be added and there is space in the pocket for other little bits to be added.

This is the facing page, for the photograph. I have made the frame using my nesties and you can slide a picture into the aperature. I added butterflies stamped in Sepia and gold heat embossed and some ribbon from my stash. The flowers are Prima.

I am trying to keep the layouts quite simple so the photos and journalling will be the focus.

Here is the front of the book and another couple of pages.

I have used a journalling stamp and the title has been generated on my compute - I love the text as it prints out looking distressed. The clash is a false fastening, the ribbon goes round the inside front cover and there is a matching one on the back cover. I have tied ribbon on the wires and added Prima flowers.

The scrolling has been stamped in green ink and the heat embossed with clear powder to create a textured background. The journalling tags have been cut out using my nesties, and the edges inked in green.

For these pages i used K and Co papers and inked all the edges. The frame is made using my nesties ( loving the latest shapes!), and of course a couple of Prima flowers.

I am really pleased with the overall effect so far - only 4 more pages to do!
