Accordion - Removable Spine - The Garden We Grew

I found this structure done by Kit Davey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mofba1elvwU&t=427s)
Created the text on I believe copy paper that I had pre-cut eons ago... so thought I'd use it.
Wrote out the text using a Zebra pointed nib and Sumi ink in "Bullet Rider Typeface" style and trimmed down to 5"w x 4"h.
Cut several strips of this orangey colored Mi-Tientes paper to created the accordion giving me a border of 1/4" all around the text piece.
Created the covers using some of my gelli print paper (front and back of gelli print) around some white cardstock, then slipped the ends of the accordion into the cover and held everything closed with the spine insert (the whole thing is removable if desired).

Title on cover put into a Spellbinders "Fancy Tags Two" die. Sponged over with some Distress "Marmalade".
