Altered Project 2

I'd finished wrapping a thick paisley print velleum with a pearly finish over my diary. It felt like the good old school days when I had to cover all my new textbooks with those plastic sheets before a term starts. As velleum is translucent, the original cover shows through as powder pink. I really like it. For the inside, I used a dark floral paper to cover the folds and to add interest. It would have been ideal to use another paisley paper which unfortunately I don't have. I'll be adding some trimmings and embellishments when I find the right materials. Till then, I leave you with a teaser as to how my diary looks now.
