Altered Book~Marion Smith Designs "Nirvana"

Last week Marion asked us the Design Team to challenge us to create an Altered Book!!! You can see the blog post here...

http://marionsmithdesigns.blogspot.com/2013/08/blog-post_28.html#comment-form

Here is my take on the Altered Book Challenge...

I used (Nirvana) Marion's new paper collection....

Here are some pics of the altered  book...hope you enjoy...

I first started painting the book with gesso..

glued tissue paper (wrinkled) down on the whole book.

Then started dripping Distress re-inker Pumice Stone all over the cover...

using a very wet paint brush helps the ink to run.

Once dried I started using some of my fav glimmer mist

 by Tattered Angels...in Graphite and Raven.

sealing with Claudine Hellmuth Studio

Multi-medium matte gel.

don't forget to aged the book pages as well...

Altered Cover

I took a few papers of the Nirvana collection and ran them through

an embossing folder.

Tore some pieces and inked the edges...glue them down.

Took some stucco/gesso mixture added some texture

with a Prima mask-damask.

splatted with more glimmer mist.

Went into my stash and found bits and pieces...

Petaloo flowers, Tim Holtz metal flowers and gear die cuts,

 Dusty Attics chipboard.

Cut out piece of the Nirvana papers to use as

 handmade chipboard embellishments.

Tim Holtz grungeboard letters...colored with glimmer mist..

white paint..

more close ups...

Art Journal...you will see more pages soon to come....

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop over to the MSD-DT Blog!!! to see more

amazing talent..hugs,

MOJO Monday/ MOJO#306 "Shabby Card"

Wow I haven't played along in a long while so I decided last night while gazing upon Marion Smith's new digital printables "Scarlet" which you can find at www.marionsmithdesigns.com

a card was a must to create and little shabby and pink!

So along with the digital prints and a Die~Namites Die "Bamboo Sticks" (www.die~namites.com).

I started adding gesso/stucco with mask design...Distressing all the edges and white washing all the papers...to give a softness to the papers for the card.

I didn't have a scallop punch available big enough for what I needed I turned to my CTMH Cricut Art Philosopy and Artiste Cartridges...added a pretty little Prima flower and leaves....sprayed a fine mist of Perfect Pearls Mists: blue patina!!!

Here are some close ups of the digital papers and die-bamboo sticks....just love all the texture!

Thanks for stopping in today be sure to stop over to the MoJo Monday Blog at http://mojomonday.blogspot.com

Happy Creating!
