Today I’m sharing my latest project for The Crafty Scrapper – a mini book featuring the new Authentique Harvest collection as well as papers from the Photoplay Autumn Day collection.I started with some mini manila folders from 7 Gypsies, which I painted and inked until they were the perfect coppery-bronze color.

I layered patterned papers to create backgrounds that highlight the gorgeous vintage images from the Authentique collection.
I tucked in a tag between pages, adding some silk fall leaves.

Hand-dyed seam binding acts as a closure for the mini book.

Omword, this is SO gorgeous, Erica! SO love all these pretty papers and vintage images! You do the most beautiful things with Authentique collections! I really love your mini album base made from the file folders, and love that hidden surprise tag, too! Stunning!
