This card will have to go with apologies for the amount of real-estate it takes up!! But it was enormous fun to make, and today's IC gave me a lovely ornament to put on the cover.
Accordion created with Core'dinations cardstock, Sizzix Tags #3 and Craft Concepts Venus ef. I embossed and sanded all the back pieces, and on all pieces I sponged the edges with brown ink.
Then I laid out the front pieces and put two strips of double-sided tape on each, and then added two strips of gold organza ribbon to act as hinges for the accordion. Then I stuck the backs on. After that I fixed a brass eyelet in the hole in each tag, using eyelet washers to keep them neat at the back.
Penny Black images stamped with Versafine Black and coloured with a ton of distress inks. I also used distress green Stickles and some Diamond and Frosted Lace. Numbers have little dots of silver Liquid Pearls and then were painted with gold paint. I added punched holly leaves and Liquid Pearl berries on each tag.
Album cover here.
There are also more close-up pictures of the pages in my gallery.

Oh Sabrina! This is one delightful tag book. Love, love it. So glad I saw it in the favorites form as I missed it the first time around. You have been a busy stamper.
