BOOK PAPER

An unusual title you may think but it's the challenge over at Try It On Tuesday this week - I love books and, like most, hate to think of destroying them but I do have a little book I picked up in a charity shop for 10p which I use for crafting with.  It's an old tourist book of Rome from the 1950's.  Hubby loves Rome and was devastated when he saw me cutting it up!  But I'm giving it new life!

As it's to do with Rome I chose to use the colour purple - they liked purple in Roman times - especially the Emperors.  I've used the flower from an old Stampin Up set called A Touch of Nature.  The background paper was torn and then sponged and inked in another old SU colour More Mustard.  A touch of Lace Ribbon and some gold thread adds to the vintage look of this card.
