Sugar Lump Studios

Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Up Goes the Curtain – Altered Book Cover}

July 17, 2010

I created this altered book cover using Paper Whimsy Sheet 124 and Digi Sheet 066, old book text, mother of pearl buttons, vintage seam binding ribbon, antique lace, and a sweet vintage rhinestone earring.

Hope you have a wonderful Saturday and stay cool! :)
