I removed the spine to alter....
and here is my 'Book' tag offering for this weeks theme....
I've used....
the book spine as my tag base, French dictonary text (tearing out the words Livre - french for book),
....sweet image of a boy reading a book,
french postcard image,coffee foil, lace, pen nib. eiffel tower charm, butterfly scraps, rik-rak and distress inks.
I'm having so much fun each week with tag tuesday, So many inspiring artists with many inspiring tags to see each week!
Thanks for Peeking!
