Paper Pieced Bookpage flower

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I'm trying the Japanese stab-binding method for my notebooks. This book at a wallpaper remnant for a front cover with a coordinating card stock back cover. The binding is a thin brown ribbon.

I paper pieced the oversized flower embellishment using a Scrapbooks, etc pattern cut out with my craft scissors. The paper I used is from a vintage scientific education book about flowers. I love this old book paper because it's such nice thick paper with a great off-white color. The center of the flower is finished off with an old button.
