So not being a great talent where card making is concerned and having already played once at making a domino book, I decided to play again. So here is my make: ( you may need a comfy chair and a cuppa!!)
I started by creating the inside folded pages, by scoring and folding my card stock.When folded I added colour using.. distress inks in broken china and frayed burlap and then splots ( technical term of the super yummy distress paints...yes still loving these!)
I then added script stamping using frayed burlap. Then onto all the main images, all using black archival ink. I masked each section of the book off so as to avoid getting ink on the next piece. This did take a while but hopefully you will feel was well worth the time taken to be careful. ( When moving the masked piece remember Archival stays wet a little while and can get smudged if not dried off , also be careful not to transfer ink from the piece of masking paper)
I had such fun masking off parts of stamps to to get words from quotes that fitted as well as using Tiny things set from Tim Holtz, such a wealth of tiny images ...
The edges of the dominoes for the covers were covered with tissue tape...now for the front:
I used an image stamped in black Archival, also a rub on, a gear and a light bulb wrapped in paper coated wire. The closure for this little folded book is also paper coated wire.
The back cover of the book was another small piece of stamped and inked card, with this fab hand (just love this stamp!) and a rub on.
make sure you pop across to see the other fab DT makes and maybe pop in a folded make yourself.
The products I have used are listed below :
have a fun and inky day!

It's an exquisite domino book, Trace (still haven't tried one of these), and the stamping is simply perfect... well worth the effort of the masking. I adore the tiny tissue tape borders on the edges of the dominos, and the front and back covers - well, pretty much everything, really. Perfect!
