Something Shabby!

This week Simon Says Stamp and Show ... Something Shabby! http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2010/11/simon-says-stamp-and-show-something.html
I made a journal cover. I've been wanting to do this for sometime now and this was the motivation!

I had a fun time making this! I used so much stuff! I made the flowers from old book pages cut out by Tim Holtz's AWESOME tattered florals and tattered leaves dies. The scallop punch is from Stampin Up. The journal lock is from Zutter. The top cardstock is by Studio Gypsy over at Scrapbook Graphic.com -the kit is called Change of Heart. The bottom card stock is from  Die Cuts with a View Mariposa Stack.

I used Tim Holtz's Altered Metal with Paint technique on the book plate to get a shabby look.

Thanks for looking!
