GRAB THE KIDS BOARD BOOK & LET'S GET ALTERING

Hi all,
Kat here, AKA Kat's craft creations
(sorry I am really naff at naming posts)
So onto my second project of the month of July

we are still focusing on Baubles & Buttons
you can get them for a great price HERE

I have made an altered board book
(I love how inexpensive & easy to make these are)

here it is,

I started with a Kids board book & glued book pages to the covers

with Claudine Hellmuth studio multi-matte medium

then painted it with black acrylic paint dabber

let it dry,

I then stamped with clear embossing powder &

Versamark ink pad with

Music, Harlequin & Calligraphic Mat 1 Stamps

(I love these backgrounds)

to get the covers like this,

I then took my perfect pearls powders

& a wet paint brush,

& went messily over it,

waited about a minute then took a damp tissue

& rubbed it over the embossed areas to remove it,

so it finished up with a shiny metallic effect,

for the inside I painted 2 coats of Claudine Hellmuth Gesso

to half the pages,& then glued book pages to the other half

ready for altering,

to embellish I used

idea-ology accoutrements, fanciful buttons & baubles

I tied the pearls to some fibers with metal butterflies

& tied that to a paper clip

(so it could be easily removed from the spine

when working on the inside of the book)

I used scraps of paper,card & metal, with Tim's Heart Wings Die

To decorate the front & added the

idea-ology button from fanciful set

Hope you like it!

I'll be back on the 25th with my next project,

thanks for having me,
