If you like the idea of making an old book beautiful here is what you need to know. While thrifting I found an old poem book in excellent shape but without illustrations. There was plenty of space on the pages so I decided to add my own illustrations. This months collaboration between Joy Clair Stamps and Rinea Foiled Paper made this project a snap!
~ The Owl and the Pussy Cat ~
Before we start here is a look at the book, a gorgeous slim volume of verse bound in green with an embossed cover.
As you can see there is plenty of room on the pages for beautification.
The corner pieces I cut from Rinea Copper Foiled Paper. The paper shapes so beautifully with detailed dies. I add a layer of craft foam underneath the foiled paper before running it through my embosser/cutter.
The ship and the pig's wings were stamped on Rinea Emerald Foiled Paper with Rinea Ghost Ink. I fussy cut them with scissors to fit to the page.
This pig with wings from the Joy Clair stamp set All Things Possible has a vintage flavor. It is right at home here in this beautiful book.
To put it all together I used ScraPerfect adhesive.
The Best Glue Ever holds the glossy foiled paper securely. Spread it thin and let it dry to a translucent finish.
The finished product meshes well with the page design and leaves space on the pages. The shine of the Foiled Paper adds a luxurious touch. Look for more illustrated poems in the coming days. This quick and easy project was perfect for Rinea Foiled Paper and ScraPerfect's Best Glue Ever.
