Oh dear - no work on Friday as we had about 30cm of snow!!!
I just used some backing card from card pads (waste not want not) and use the Tim Holtz Perfect Splatter Distress Technique (sort of). I used several of the distress inks splodged onto my craft mat and some mica powders sprinkled into these. I then spritzed with water until beaded and laid the card into it. I dried the card and then dabbed again into remaining ink until happy with result.
The die cuts were cut from Marianne dies (I think these might be Ornate Bird Cage 2, Bird of Paradise, and Garden Branch) - these were are stamped with
Indigoblu Crackleglaze stamp (I know it is quite subtle but it is there) and then coloured with various distress inks. The bird has had some rock candy crackle added for texture - not ideal as on a smooth surface and starting to chip a bit! The flower brad was an old one from my stash - now sure where it came from - it was silver so I coloured it with alcohol marker.
I made the book with
WRMK The Cinch (only mine is the older version one) and added some stash ribbons.

Love the Tim Holtz Perfect Splatter Technique

| The dies are all Mariannes. You can just make out the Indigoblu Crackleglaze stamp on all of the dies cuts. |

| This is the back cover - this side of the card is more absorbent so the effect is so different. |

| This is the inside of the front cover - I am undecided which I like best. At least I can see each one every time I use the book. |
