and I've been DYING to use them! I had a tag / envelope book which I thought would be really fun to turn into a crime scene style 'Case Folder' like you see in those old detective films and programmes
So here is my step by step walkthrough...
The front cover - I painted the chipboard with acrylic paints and embossed the stamping on the front
As you open it a mini Bulldog clip holds a chipboard file folder, inside is a mini manila card for observations held together with a Tim Holtz mini paperclip
The come the Mini Envelopes, each has been inked with Distress Inks using a blending tool...
The little card on the front of this one is an October Afternoon 'Wild Card' which I distressed
This one has a mini 'polaroid' attached to the front...
This one ties with string at the back...
and contains a tag which has a mini bottle attached to it - I coloured this green with my Promarkers to make it look like it contains something icky!
This one also opens....
To reveal a tag with a 'blood stained' piece of evidence!
All of the envelopes have their own little tags which I will add my photo's and journaling to - now I just need to decide who my subject will be and their 'crime' I'm guessing Fuzzybutt will be the obvious choice - there is certainly enough photo's of her mischief to choose from!!
Thanks for looking!
