A Guest Book with Perfectly Rustics

There is a new challenge starting over at Perfectly Rustics today with a theme of Use Three of Something, I also wanted to share a project that was a huge joy to create. My little sister Rachael decided to get married to the love of her life Simon on 30th April 2015 in New Zealand and I was incredibly honored that they asked me to create a guest book for them. This was the first time I had made anything like this and with only a guest list of 17 - it presented an interesting challenge, This is what I came up with.






Card Tip:

I needed to create a small guest book that was strong enough to hold up but also had black pages - a request made by the groom. So my solution was covering a chipboard album. I started off with a American Crafts 6x8 chipboard minibook, and covered it with assorted card stock.

Card Ingredients:

Card Stock: Bazzill royalty,her majesty,black tie.
Papers: cream paper from local scrapbook store.
Stamps: Tiddly Inks As You Wish
Markers:
               Skin: E000+E00+E11+E02+R20 
               Guy's Hair: E33+E35+E37
               Lady's Hair: E40+E41+E43+E31
               Guy's Shirt: E50+E30
               Guys Tunic: E23+E25+E29
               Guy's Pants: E53+E55+E57
               Guy's Boots: C01+C03+C05+C07
               Lady's Shirt: E50+E30
               Lady's Dress: V000+V01+V12+V04
               Lady's Shoes: E53+E55+E57
Dies: Cuttlebug typewriter font die, Spellbinders lattice rectangle, Couture Creations nesting hearts, I also used my Brother Scan and Cut for the page shapes.
Other: Prima flowers, purple and cream ribbon from stash.
