Prima Altered Book...

Just a lil something I made for my Mother-in-law for Mother's Day! I started with a very old book I found at the library. I tore out the center pages, then starting at the beginning of the book, I glued the pages together and did the same at the back of the book. I then curled the edges and sprayed the entire book with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Coffee Shop. After it was dry I covered the outside of the book with Prima papers and added the touches to the inside of the book.

White With 1 Challenge....

I'm so loving these challenges over at White With 1. It's amazing once you start going through your stash how much of a certain color you have. This weeks challenge was to use White... with Orange & Scallops.  To get the painted look in the background. I took wax paper and trimmed it to the size I wanted, then crinkled it up and applied a lite coat of white paint to it. I then applied light pressure to the paper once it was on the paper and carefully lifted it off. I totally love how it looks. I also used the leftover wax paper for the scallops...I thought it reflected the look of the drangonflies wings.


The quote says:
If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.

Happy Crafting!
