Last night while browsing around a book store, I found these botanical cards for $1.99. I grabbed them as I knew I'd have lots of uses for them. They are on glossy, sturdy cardstock.
When I woke up this morning -- it was snowing. So it turned out to be a perfect morning to start altering some of these gorgeous botanic pieces.
I'm the tallest one in that photo above, along with my sister and cousin.
Once I got done playing with a few of the cards, I decided to have a go at the manual that came along with the cards and created this double-sided accordian book.
This is side one.
And this is side two.
