Book Kitty - stenciling, vintage buttons, single layer

Reading under a tree is the perfect Spring or Summer day for me. Newton's taking a nap with his book. My card features Newton Nook stamps, a stencil from the May My Monthly Hero from Hero Arts, Distress inks, and vintage buttons!

Golden Journal - die cutting with plastic, embossing XL, gold leaf

Making a journal incorporating recycled materials can yield a lovely result. This die cut journal uses recycled plastic packaging and framing mat board scraps as well as a vintage button that once adorned a garment. The journal cover has been embossed and gilded for an elegant distressed look.
