A Page Turner!

Hi , it's the Chief Stamper here again, and this time, I have a little altered book page to show you. I have spent quite a bit of time this year going back to my altered book that I started well over 10 years ago. I thought I would show you a technique that is perfect for altered books, journaling, and even cards. It is a masking technique, and very simple and quite effective.I used some of the words and saying stamps to mask, and I simply stamped them onto the book pages,

and then stamped them again onto a piece of spare paper and tore them up , so that you have rough edges. You can make any shape you like, and it doesn't have to stamping underneath it.

 I covered up the words with the torn pieces of paper glued very lightly down with a glue stick.  and sprayed with Colorwash from Ranger over the whole page. 

Once the page is dry, over stamp with background stamps in Archival ink, and lift off the torn paper masks.

I highlighted some of the background stamp, and words with a fine black pen. I also used a couple of the stamped paper masks to add dimension to the page, attaching them with screw top brads.

Hoping you have a very creative day
