I started by inking the background to the castle using Distress Oxide inks in various shades of blue.
I used the second largest of the Wacky Stitched Oval Dies to cut the oval for the castle.
I cut the castle pieces from white card stock and used Distress Oxides to color those as well.
I assembled those on the oval.
To create the "book" I used a weathered wood paper cut to 4 1/8 x 5 1/2 inches. Then I cut a piece of ivory card stock 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. This gave me a little bit of the pages peeking through. I used ink to add patina to the edges of both. I also used two strips of "tin" card stock cut to 1/2 x 1 inches for the hinges.
I added three ovals of dark brown underneath the main oval to form the medallion.
I stamped my sentiment on ivory using brown ink and distressed the edges using Antique Linen and Vintage Photo inks.
To finish everything I used two tiny screw brads on the hinges and some rhinestones for the stars in the sky.
