Ethel's Shopping List Notebook

For my latest CREATIVE EXPRESSIONS DT project I decided to alter one of the long slim shopping list notebooks using the Wrinkles Don't Hurt stamp sheet.
I covered the notebook with papers from my stash, then I attached some torn strips of the paper that I'd coloured the edges with Distress ink, then I added a piece of corrugated card that I'd coloured with ink. I stamped Ethel and the sentiment onto some card and coloured with Promarkers, then I cut them out and coloured the edges with Distress ink. I added a few sticky backed gems.
Vintage photo, aged mahogany and victorian velvet are the colours of Distress inks that I've used.
