Hello Bloggers
This little book was started using Shades of Green Book Papers. Then a set of the Fairy B&W Cut & Create Papers was put on the craft table & looked irresistible to play with.
Originally they were there for a card but who can resist a mini book with no embellishing.
The result is a video of the pages:

Hope this gives you some ideas.
Other Notes:
The silver nail polish was in the sale bin at the chemist for $2.95 - I had tried all the other sparkles things I had & none of them worked the way I wanted. Will it work?? Yes, it did!! & what a great price. Now I have to find a gold one.
The nail polish was used on vellum, cardstock, charms & paper flowers & leaves. Also on some of the Fairy Cut & Create images. A very thin layer added the right amount of sparkle, while a thicker layer was needed on the charms
Never stop thinking outside the box.
The Fairy on the cover & the paper butterflies on other pages were molded & rounded over my thumb. I then glued 1/2 a cotton ball underneath to keep them rounded.
Pins of Jewels were used as Fairy Wands
