CT Nan has been up to no good again and is back with a Grunge Book.
This little book is 2 inches by 2 inches! I saw a YouTube video by Rach0113 making one of these and was intrigued. The skull on the front and back is the "Skull with Wings" from my Altered Tin Book from day one used again without his wings and he is from Lost Coast Designs.
This book consists of three 4 x 4 inch squares soaked in a mash up of Distress Inks and then folded very simply but being able to then be folded down to a pop up sized 2 x 2! The ribbon that holds it together is put between the back cover and the last page.
Here it is unfolded. The grunge name comes from I am guessing the distressed inking and the front covers are crumpled up and then the wrinkles inked and then ironed to put on the book covers.
I used the "Skull with Wings" from Lost Coast Designs and the "Dancing Skeletons" along with various stamping with the "Mini Skulls" , "Crow and Skull Borders" and a music stamp from Michael's bargain bin.
When folded back up it magically is 2 x 2 again!
