Altered book; break free

I found this old book from library,

they have this recycling cart where you can

I knew it was perfect for my book.

Book has some pictures in it and this is the last

So I added the image and die cuts, did some stamping,

used white wax and some white paint.

Here's how the cover looks after I altered it a little:
