Trash to Treasure Art: Mini book- school days

Mini book- school days

I Love finding different things to alter. In this case a mini composition book.

Stamped the image from Artistic Outpost on tissue paper

then used multi medium to collage the background papers, some of Tim's tissue tape.

Then added a metal corner and a vintage pen nib. Easy Peasy!

Leave a comment if you would like this little book and I'll

draw a # on Sunday and send it to someone!
