Books Of Secrets......

Hi there....
I am taking part in a Book of Secrets swap.....don't think I'll be doing much more in the way of swaps this year.....so I tried to make the most of this one....
If you have a look here  you'll see what they are supposed to look like....
Now of course in the King household nothing ever goes even slightly to plan...and you must all know by now I am not good at anything that requires accuracy, straight lines or measuring.....
So what happens when I buy matches that a different size to the instructions????? Of course I ended up drafting Bry in to help and as usual he saved the day with his patience and accuracy skills...
I somehow ended up having to make 3 books...don't ask!!! so I'll split the pictures into 2 blog posts otherwise you'll be asleep before the end of the post....

The first theme was 'Fairies'.....

Love this stamp she is by Smeared Ink and coloured with my ProMarkers..

This is a stamp I got from the NEC last year, again coloured with ProMarkers..

Don't you just love ♥♥♥ Stampotique? 

I have used 'Angel Boy'

and...'Angel'

The backgrounds for these were created with finger painting with my Dylusions Paints...

For the next two pages I have used some gorgeous Lavinia stamps and a distress inked background...

My second book was about Time and Vintage...

Just a couple of photos to share...this was the first book that I made and I'm not altogether sure I like it or it is good enough....

I used FAB PaperArtsy stamps on this on...

And an 'Alice' ATC on this one....The backgrounds were created by stamping and clear embossing a clock stamp and then colouring with Distress Inks..

I just hope my swapees like them......

I'll be back tomorrow to show you my very favourite pages......'SteamPunk'..

Thanks for looking..
