On this page, she distressed the pages with purple and buff colored stamp pads, used a daisy rubber stamp, magazine clippings for the flowers and heart. The wavy floral paper scrap was from a drapery sample book, which she ran through a crimper. Also she stamped a tulip on a layered tag and used a bit of photocopied ephemera.
This is one of my favorite altered book pages of all time. The purple flower is a silk one, and I wouldn’t have thought of using it because it’s so thick and bulky – but it’s perfect.Besides the silk flower, she used a purple stamp pad for distressing the page, embroidered ribbon, words cut from a magazine (Home Grown and Spring), rubber stamp, and a decorative paper napkin.






A lovely altered creation!
On behalf of my sister, Thank you!
And from the sister that made the flower book – thank you.
I enjoyed doing it because I just let it fly – so to speak.
I just actually did whatever felt good at the time and didn’t
worry about how I was supposed to do it.
It was really fun.

It’s a beautiful book and very clever, too.
