Audrie took us to Ruth Bleakley's Flickr gallery, which is filled with her amazing hand-made books. They are all hand-made ... covers, stitching, drawing, inking, painting, etc. Some are as tiny as your thumb and others are the size of an average sized hardbound book. I was inspired by more than one book and decided to combine several elements to design my card:
This journal and this map with print for my background inspired my card.
I used the MTWSC168 for my sketch. I am also submitting this card for the Male Room Vintage, WT471 (button) and MIX60 (print + two mediums) challenges.
THANK YOU for looking!
