I smooshed paint, stenciled and stamped both sides of the tag, which I'd pre-folded ..
... and after adding some 'shrooms', discovered that I'd put them on upside down. Hmm, make a backwards book or ...???
Now the book has additional texture :)
I used pamphlet stitch to add the pages inside, and a ribbon long enough to tie around the book to keep it closed.
All in all a very happy couple of hours, and a gift in the post to a friend. Hope you've had a lovely evening and have time for some creative craftiness this weekend.
The tag book looks great - I love that stencil and the giant 'shroom has been on my wish list for too long! I do hope to get crafty this weekend - but it's the Christmas cards that need doing...
