As you know, I have been playing with 'metal' and hand embossing some stamped images. I created a 6x3 book of recipes for a "Cocktail Party" using another Unity wood stamp 'Wine Rack':

For the back of the book, I used the same metal, but used my black and silver alcohol inks to add some varied color. Another tip: if you are creating a book cover, make sure that the chip board or book that you are covering is pretty sturdy, not too thin and flimsy. Otherwise, when you cover it with metal, it will show all lines and folds that you don't want to show...the metal picks up all the details behind it!
I used my Unity Cocktail Party set for my sentiment and tag (attached with black elastic band).
Here are the tools that I used for working with this metal:

Again, thank you for coming to visit!
p.s. Tomorrow I have an altered paint can to show you!
p.s.s. Have you ever heard of a "progressive page"? Stay tuned on Friday, OMG, yes I did scrapbook!
