Altered Book Page by Angie Coomber

 Hello arty friends, how are you all doing? 

It has been very hot in my part of the UK and I am writing this in front of a lovely cool fan - bliss!

For this layout I worked in one of my altered books. I use this one for monochrome pages, so I only use black, white and a pop of colour. I really enjoy challenging myself to use this limited amount of supplies - give it a try!
First I used some gel medium to glue a crumpled piece of tissue paper to my pages - this adds a lovely texture.
I also added some pieces of ephmera. When this was dry I added a layer of clear gesso.
I added some black mark making, black & white washi tape, and as I had decided that my additonal colour was going to be red/orange I also used washi tape in those colours.
I used Colour Burst powders to create an orange background for stamping the butterflies on.
Once I had stamped the butterflies and cut them out (I forgot to take a photo!) I positioned these and the picture on my pages, then glued them down.
I added some additional stamping, a quote that I found on Pinterest, some white doodling and some gold and pink splatter. If you haven't had a go at altering a book before, give it a go. But be warned - it's addictive!Hugs from Angie x
Stamps used:Butterfly TrioDoodle Borders #1

Atc´s Inky Flowers

Image
    Hi, I'm Vero (@ Vero.kt) and I welcome you to today's inspiration. How's everybody ? I've been playing  with   Mixed media marks 1 ,   Pencil marks 3 ,  Round in circle  and   Inky Flowers     to  create a  colorful Atc´s that I hope you like . Very easy to do, we started. We cut watercolor paper to a size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches, if you prefer to work in cm, 6.4x8.9. In my case, the paper is smooth and hot pressed, and I color the backgrounds with pigments. W hen the backgrounds dry (we can speed up the process with a heat gun) we will add texture and depth with different inks, in my case I have used distress oxide.To start, I choose a stamp from the  Mixed media marks  , apply the inks, spray water, and stamp, (I'm not looking for definition, I'm looking for a watercolor effect, watery).Help myself with the dryer and go back to stamp with different inks, to continue adding depth and texture. One of th...
