I made this notebook over the last few days, the background is lace and texture paste with one coat of shellac and several paint washes over it.
I like the back as much as the front because there you can see the detail in the background.
Two precious gifts a wet felted birdie from my friend Dawn and a needle felted needle case from Jane. Do you see my little Archer in the small frame?
The notepad below was made by covering core board with assorted postage stamps. I then over stamped them with one of my favourite Tim Holtz stamps, the quote is: "To those who can dream there is no such place as far away.
I then applied several layers of shellac and an image from a vintage Sunday School card in the postage frame. I think this one is for me!

Both notebooks are really terrific. But I think the first one has to be my favourite, so vibrant and I love the frame. I'm always excited by your artwork...such talent!

P.S Love the wet felted birdie from Dawnie and the felted needle case from Jane (the framed picof Archer is a lovely touch).
I love the new notebooks. The lace effect is especially beautiful and I think I recognize the image from the Sunday school card.
Your last post made me hungry. I think I'll look up chutney recipes.
