"Notelets Set"
The covers use the "gilding an embossed image" technique, and there are also gilded diecuts cut from black card. I love that vintage frame sepellbinders die and use it a lot. It's perfect for some of these Graphic45 images cut from the 8" x 8" patterned paper pad.
"Stamped Notepaper and Envelopes"
The notepaper and envelopes are held in place with some gold thread secured behind the patterned paper when it was stuck inside the covers.
"Patterned Paper Lining"
The Graphic45 8" x 8" papers are perfect for lining the 5" wide covers. Cut a sheet vertically in half to give two pieces 4" wide and that leaves a one inch border either side to fill up using any of their complementary patterns. I stick mine down with a good smear of PVA and leave to dry.
"Stamped Papers"
My friend Brenda was saying the other day that she wanted an excuse to get her oriental stamps out. It gave me the idea for the notepaper set! Hope to see your stamps get an outing soon Brenda :-)
