For my DT piece am showing you an altered Mills and Boon paperback, both the cover and the inside reflect the renowned storyteller Edgar Allan Poe
The words on the cover read: An Enigma, 1848 and the inside reads: " All that we See or Seem is but a Dream within a Dream ". Words by E A Poe.
Now I have to admit I haven't yet completed the back of the book..........oooh slap hands, but will get that done shortly as it will stand up alongside the rest of my Halloween bits and pieces. So if you feel a Horror Story coming on why not join in the fun with us at Gingersnap Creations.............and don't forget to visit us as there are some amazing DT pieces.
Thank you for popping in and hope you all have a smashing creative week. Am away for 10 days so will have a lot of catching up to do when I get back. My Catscan appointment arrived and yep its for when we are away, but managed to get another one......not sure if I should be pleased or not..........lol
Take care, Hugs Annette x

Stunning piece Nettie and what an excellent use of an old Mils and Boon. I have that fan too, it came from a crowabout sheet that Nancy Baumiller provided on Flickr, probably about a year ago or so, but she often uses freebies from other sources, so who knows.
Fabulous book, Netty! That cover is wonderful!
:)
Netty this is a fabulous altered book.The cover is stunning. Love the black gesso. Beautiful.

This is fabulous Annette, and what makes it more special is that it was a mills and boon book, this is the best thing that could happen to them. I like all the swooshed gesso, brilliant!

Simply smashing layout! And the front cover really rocks!
I'd love to learn more on how to emboss metal tape--is a tutorial in the works?
As for the black gesso.... i have a theory one can never have enough of it to hand!
