Here's my altered book page.  I made it using all of the supplies I showed in my last post.   The scone cutter stamps were a nice framing device.  The old yellowed pattern tissue gives a great vintage look and I love the black graphic marks.  The puzzle pieces where little works of abstract art in themselves.  I took most of the cardboard off the back to make them flat.

The handkerchief was a bit of a challenge.  I varished it, hoping that when the varished dried I could use it as a stencil.  The paint seemed to just blob right through.  However, this blobby look worked with the page.  Then I rubbed the handkerchief with a piece of waxed paper and got exactly the effect I was hoping for, only on the waxed paper!  This technique needs a little more head scratching.  If anyone out there in blogland knows how to do this, let me know.  I'll be trying another page soon!
