I came across this DRUM LEAF binding on Vintage Page Designs Facebook Nov 4/24 post and decided to play with it… HERE

Cut my 5pcs of white Stonehenge paper to 5"h x 10" w and one larger one for the covers. Sprayed with various colors of Distress Spritz (Fossilized Amber, Peacock Feathers, Peeled Paint, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron and Walnut Stain). Sprinkled with Coarse salt and then sprayed with water. Let it dry completely.

Fold the pages in half and  the back side of one folded piece to the back side of the next folded piece until all were attached to each other. Used binder clips to hold the pages together and applied glue to the spine - let dry. Adhered the cover to the first page creased for my spine and then adhere the rest to the back page. Adhered the belt to the front adding a piece to slip my end into for closure. Added one of my wax seals as decoration.

Die cut the large letters using Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations "Vintage Market" alphabet from pink cardstock. Rest of the text was done with a Zebra pointed pen nib in Bookhand style using Holbien Jet Black gouache.
