Grungeboard Sketchbook

The Awfully Big Art Adventure theme this week is a collection of inchies. To this I've added a challenge on the Innovative Stamp Creations blog to make a mini notebook using grungeboard as the cover.
I wanted to create a bleached out effect with the background, so blended the dabbers with my fingers.

Mini blooms

I thought I'd join in with the 2nd Awfully Big Art Adventure challenge which is to make your own album in a matchbox. I made a little book of flowers to go inside, which was assembled with a ribbon after I took the first photo. The matchbox measures 1 1/4 x 2 inches.

Salutation

Another new site has popped up and you can find it here: Awfully Big Art Adventure. Their first challenge is on the theme of shrines. I'm so pleased to use this shrine stamp, which has been waiting for such an occasion. The image comes from art-e-cats, and is part of a picture called Angelic Salutation.
I hope you don't mind me patting myself on the back, as the outer border stamp is only small, and I had to keep lining it up and restamping. Amazingly it met when I returned to the starting point!
