Altered Board Book

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday. Today I wanted to stop by and share an Art Journal, I created out of a board book that I picked up at a yard sale over the summer.  I wanted to create an art journal with which I could play around with some different techniques.

I took some heavy gesso and covered the entire front and back covers to mute the color pictures on the board book. I then applied some Tim Holtz Idea-olgy tissues paper using some gel medium and added some gesso with a dry bush to fade some of the printed tissue paper. I wanted to add more texture to the front cover so I decided to use some modeling paste and stencils with some sprays using some white, copper and silver.

 

 

For the cluster on the front cover I decided to use some of my favorite dies from Die-Namites Dies, the Small Ivy DN-1170 and the Budding Branch DN-1037. I arranged them on the cover in a cluster with some scrap burlap, chipboard, clock face and owl I had laying around in my scrapbook studio.

Urban Memories Layout

Hi everyone

Today I wanted to stop by and share with you a layout that I created using Teresa Collins Urban Market Paper Collection and embellishments.

The picture is of me standing by a tree  that was taken at a lake near by.

I am really in love with Di-namite Dies so I decided to use the sunflower Serenade and leafy flowers to create the flower spray. You can get so many different looks using Die-namite Dies from cutting them apart to coloring or embossing them for various looks.

I also used the Spring Doily from die-namite  at the top and bottom of the photo. I love how the layout came out so crisp and clean.

Garmet District Birthday Card

Happy Monday everyone, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today I wanted to share with you a card I created using Marion Smith Design's Garment District Collection. I am so in love with the vintage look of this collection.

My card base is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".  Then I added some texture with some stencils and gesso.  I created the flower spray with some botanical dies and colored them in with some PITT pens layering flowers over the branches.
