"the big quest"

IndigoBlu have started their very first challenge and that's not only a cool thing to do but the first challenge theme is really well chosen - even though it was quite predictable - "Blue"!

So here comes my take on "Blue" - a booklet showing some of my ancestors (mainly from my father's line) asking the big questions upon life.

I used the awesome "Sarah's Choice" stamp set from IndigoBlu to create a lot of texture on the single pages. The pages were die cut using the Alterations "mini cabinet card" die - I only cut off the lower part to get a straight border.



The background was made by applying Distress inks onto the craft sheet, spritzing these with water and drawing and dipping the card through the colour puddles and smears.



I wrote the questions by hand onto torn paper scraps, which I blended with vintage photo and chipped saphire DIs afterwards.

The edges of the pages were distressed using a carpet knife and blended with DIs too. For the book ring I bent some wire, using a bottle cap of according size to form a proper circle. The two swirls were made using round pliers.

Here come the single pages:

and a view at the backsides, which I stamped with the lovely script stamp from the IndigoBlu set.

As always I hope that you like my project and have enjoyed your visit! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Hugs,
