I took fudge colored cardstock and sprayed it with water on both sides. Then I crinkled it up quite a bit. After that I cut out the piece I wanted for my book and, while wet, I inked it with black so that it brought out the wrinkles. Then I let it dry and did it again for more definition. Then I took some crackle glaze and spread it sparingly all over the book cover so that it gave it a sheen like leather. I added the ribbon and bling to the cover along with a grungboard hinge and blingy brad. So as you can see, this is for an old medieval look or however you want to call that era. As soon as I am done with the whole layout I will post it as well.

Awesome technique! Thanks for sharing :)
