Altered Book Challenge - Faux Chipboard

As part of the challenge which I posted a few days ago, I created a double page spread in my Techniques Altered Book. I used Lumiere paint on the pages and stamped the sentiment and the Stamp Zia bough. I cut my Faux Chipboard sample in half diagonally and glued it down. Finally I added the little boy image from Trish's Advent Image Challenge and some gold braid. I haven't been working in my altered books for awhile and had forgotten how much fun they are. Next up is adding the Shining Stones sample to the Background Noise background technique book . Thanks, Trish, for keeping me busy - better than housework!!!
