For this project :
File folder/bone folderwatercolor crayons, brush and heat tool
assorted distress inks & markers
Picket Fence Distress Marker
Begin by folding file folder to fit your tags. I had 4 regular size pockets and one that was a tad short that served well to fold in and be a flap. With watercolor crayons base in where you want colors. Starting with the lightest first, activate the crayons with water. Work in layers adding drips, splatters and darker colors. Dry with the heat tool in between to capture some of your favorite drips/splatters.
Using background stamps. stamp in various shades of the colors you used to give a hint of visual texture on both sides of folder. For the back of the pockets, lines in picket fence were added to make journalling favorite recipes or sample menus easier. The tag shape was further enhanced with a black outline, mimicking the real tags that will be added to the inside next.
Each pocket was stamped with separate "spooky" image--when i return next time the titles will be added to categorize each type of recipes that go there--for example: "entrees to raise the dead" or "Frankies favorite firsts [starters]". The last panel on the left is a flap rather than a pocket. It folds in first making the 2nd panel on the non-pocket side the "cover" of the recipe card holder.
I hope you enjoy my project! Thank you for looking~leslierahye

Love it! You never disappoint with a file folder. Also I think you made some great stamp choices, "may contain human flesh" was a nice and very creepy selection. Looking forward to seeing the next post about this project.
