The inside panel has been hand stitched around the edges and then distressed. The image is from Lunagirl .com 'Butterfly Cards'. I don't think they are still trading. I have had in my stash for a very long time. The back cover has the same image inside too.
I hand stitched some pockets from freebie design papers.I think they are all from Making cards magazine collected over the years and inserted amongst the pages.
I made a matching pen using a biro infill and more design paper.
