Recovered Book

Ok, recovered as in 'has a new cover' not as in 'was lost and now found'!  hahaha

The Twist over at Twisted Thursday is Anything Goes, so I decided to try a technique new to me I saw over at Chana's site Redora Lee Designs.  

I did mine a bit differently since I was covering a larger book.  I covered the entire book with rolled kraft paper and then used a piece of Kraft cardstock for the actual floral piece.  

I dampened the CS with the glycerin/water spritz and crumpled; repeat; repeat.  I ran it through my embossing and lost the crumpled affect.  Hmmm.....  Maybe it was the CS I used, or maybe something else, but I went with what I created.  I rubbed over the embossing with inks and sprayed with Aleene's Acrylic Sealer.  

Next, it was just a matter of adding the closure, embellishments, and binding cover.

Thanks Chana for this idea!  I'm excited to try some other projects using this technique!
