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
