Friendship Domino Book


This Domino Book was inspired by my daughter
Freya and her school bear Matilda!! Each child
gets to bring her home for a night and write
about what they got up to in Matilda's special
diary... It's very difficult to get her to take her
back!! This was made for a swap hosted by
Melanie and the theme was 'Friendship'.


The image on the top domino is an actual
photo of Freya and Matilda that I've used
paintshop pro to manipulate to make it look
like a drawing of them.
The bottom one is a JS Personal Impressions
stamp and was stamped with black Stazon.
All the colouring is done by Color Box Chalk
ink pads and the effect is actually a lot pinker
than on the scanned images. They were finished
off with a good covering of glossy accents.
