The next 4 pages journey through some Celtic images. I ended up going with green and gold on all of them. I didn't really plan it that way, but hey, green is my favorite color, so alright.

 I got that Irish paper awhile ago, and this was a great use for it. Those are "charm pin up brads" that ribbon loops through the hold the doors closed.

This is the story of the Children of Lir, who were turned into swans for 900 years. It's an Irish story. I printed it on parchment paper, stamped and embossed the image, and added that lens on a bit of ribbon. The lens was a flea market find, from the Fremont Sunday Market. I'd been waiting for a good opportunity to use it. It's held on with a safety pin from the Tim Holtz line.
Next up is a stamp image you cannot see here. It is embossed in gold and my camera refused to take a good picture, so sorry! You'll just have to see it in person!

The background is corrugated black paper that I sanded for a nice distressed look. I decoupaged torn paper on some corners and added embellishments. The buttons are a nice new metal product that I found at Michael's the other day. The buckle on the ribbon is something I've been wanting to use for a long while, and the charms are from my stash.

This page has a pleated ribbon that I saw somewhere and was trying to reproduce, with less-than happy results. oh well, it looks grungey  enough anyway. See how the green paper on the card and the gold paper on the background and pocket are the same, just different colors? Cool, huh?
The card in the pocket is a never-ending card, from another youtube tutorial. It has an assortment of my Celtic carves in it. 
I'm yawning, so that's it for today. I'll pick up next time with the next page.
