Our Creative Corner - "Forgotten Things"

Servus and welcome back to another mid-month teaser of Our Creative Corner's challenge!

This month Redanne is your lovely host and she asked us (and asks you too) to use forgotten things - things from our stash or techniques we had forgotten about or haven't used for a long time.

This made me browse through my stash and all my shelves and come up with the set of four lovely tin boxes containing tiny Alice in Wonderland image stamps, which I really had forgotten as they were something I had bought at the very beginning of my stamping career (and only used once and then put aside).

As they are so small, I decided they were perfect for making another altered domino booklet.

Et voila:

For my domino booklet I stamped two dominoes with my favourite images from the stamp sets using Staz On black stamping ink. Then I blended the edges of the dominoes with alcohol inks and added two chit chat stickers. I covered them with a layer of DecoArt gloss "Decou-page" as a sealant.

For the book's content I folded a cut to size piece of cream card to form several pages, blended the edges with DI "gathered twigs" and stamped more Alice in Wonderland images on them.

For the spine of my booklet I used a piece of rough ribbon, which I glued around the back of the pages.

Before glueing the dominoes to the outsides of the back and front pages, I inserted two pieces of narrow ribbon for the booklet's lock.

Some embellishing with jump rings and a pearl and tiny clock - done!

I wonder what it will be YOU come up with... "re-discovering" things one already owns is almost as good as if you had just bought something new... *lol. At least it was to me ;)

I look forward to seeing your entries made from forgotten things soon!

Hugs,
