I've signed up for the "B is for..." swap on
ccswaps. As I was doing the various "B" named background techniques, I enjoyed the Little book of Techniques that
Trish B sent me at Christmas. I'm hoping, since I enjoy it so much, maybe my swap partner will also enjoy receiving a little Book of Background Techniques, focusing on the "B" ones, of course.
Decided a Butterfly would be a good embellishment to add to my Bargello cover for the front of the book. Butterfly made by cutting small pieces of light blue Angelina fibers, placing them between 2 sheets of Mother of Pearl Fantasy Film, laying it on Purple StazOn inked butterfly stamp and heating with a hot iron over a sheet of parchment paper.

Finished front with
Bargello cover. Used jump rings to bind the book together, in case the recipient wants to add more background pages later.

Used
Black Pearl Background Papers for inside covers and embellished front with a quote on vellum and a larger butterfly made with Fantasy Film scraps and Angelina Fibers between two sheets of Fantasy film like the process on top, just a different stamp.

Inside back cover, added a strip of the
bubble wrap background, a mini row house and another Fantasy Film Butterfly.

Swap partners won't be posted until the end of the month, so I can add more background pages if I think of them.....
