Altered Board Book












Can you see a theme developing here??? Alteration's the name of the game!!! LOL!!!
This time it's a little board book, which started out life as a Barbie book, which I rescued from the charity shop I help out in. I used my pokey tool to separate the original story pages from the board. Some didn't come off clearly & left ripped edges, which I thought added to the character of the book. I then inked up the pages with some Distress ink pads, Adirondack pads & Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists, then I stamped the pages using a variety of my favourite stamps.
Hope you like what I've achieved - all comments welcome, Thanks for looking x
