I started with some manila folders I had in my stash (about 5" x 8" in size). I covered them with scraps of gray, white and black patterned paper.
Next I painted mostly everything white.
I added another layer of white and when the paint was dry (overnight), I added some Jane Davenport Washi tape.
Next I smeared on acrylic paint, then whited it out a bit, then added some stamping, more paint, etc. I painted both the insides and the outsides of the folders. I also drizzled some Jane Davenport scented ink down from the top edges and sprayed it with water.
I cut patterned paper into some scallop-shapes for the borders of my folders. I went back in with a black Sharpie and outlined some of the stamped circles and scallop edges. I typed some sentiments out on my We R Memory Keepers typewriter and added those on. Here are the final results:
On this one, I also added a Tim Holtz wildflower that I cut with my Sizzix Big Shot.
