12 x 12 Page

I used the elephant stencil again, twice, but I turned it over so I had one image facing the opposite way.   I created the background from different strips of 12 x 12 paper. 

Amazon Cardboard Packaging

Amazon cardboard packaging which contained a book I think.

Working out some sizes and folds.

I cut some papers and wrote the corresponding mark on each of the sides and papers so I knew which pieces I'd cut for which sides and also the direction I wanted the pattern to go.

And this is the finished piece.

Inside are a couple of pockets, one housing a notebook I've made and the other, two tags.

And the inside without the contents.

Added material over the hinges as it's more flexible than paper. I also added one of my paper tassels and boho beads from a previous make.

Inside the notebook. 

And finally the tags.

Vintage Style Tags and Postcards

Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the two 12 x 12 pieces of paper I started with.  They were awful and needed covering up with gesso!

Using scraps and some ephemera I created some postcards.

And some more and a couple of tags.

Once I'd taken the photos I decided they needed a bit more to finish them off.

So I added some random pieces of tissue tape.

And the tags.

I used 3d foam to make the focal images pop out from the backgrounds.
