A Fairy Princess Castle for my Princess

I started this project with a "Beyond the Page" blank board book. I painted the boards using Rose Pink and Soft Green paints and accented them with White Gold paint. All the paints were by Craig & Rose and available in small jars from B & Q. I hadn't used this brand before and found it to be the nicest I'd tried so will be buying more, especially the metallic range.

The front cover was embellished with painted greenery and flowers and tiny vellum butterflies. When the book was completed I added lots of fibres to the book rings and 3 tags detailing what the book is about. I think I've gone a bit over the top with the fibres and am seriously thinking of removing some.
Inside the front cover I added some glittery butterflies and a Princess tag. Board two again had painted flowers and vellum butterflies and I added tiny pearls to the scalloped edge. I also drew in with glue and glamourdust the detailing to show through the door and windows of the front board.


Inside that board I added Mya's name from chipboard and again liberally dusted with glamourdust, which looks just like fairy dust. I then iserted 3 pages on both sides of which I placed photos of Mya at her uncle's wedding.

On the third board I made a tile design on the top of each turret using glue and glamour dust. Again added pearls along the scalloped edge and cut out from some DCWV paper "Once Upon a Time".

Once Upon a Time ribbons and a tag and butterfly were used on the back of the third board and three more pages were added with more photos from the wedding.

On the front of the back board I painted the roof of each turret in gold and scratched out tile details. I then cut the sprays of glittered flowers from some card I had and dusted the page with yet more glamour dust.

I hope my little grandaughter will treasure this momento of the day she was flower girl at her Uncle Perry's wedding. This was a real fun project.
