Altered book cover- Create

It has been a while since I blogged but I have been busy with all sorts of projects. Over the weekend the weather was bad so I had an opportunity to spray and play. I was inspired by a a similar project I spied on Pinterest by  Georgia Heald  who is such clever artist. She does similar work to Ingrid Bolme who is another extremely talented person. I don't do too much palying around with ink spray and so on but love it when I do. You really do have to have the time to sit and play, plus you need your special box or what ever to use when spraying or you get the ink everywhere ( well I seem to anyway....LOL)

I have added texture with modelling paste through a stencil, cut up paper that looked like distressed wood and inked areas with distress ink colours Peacock Feathers, Ripe Persimmon, and Dusty Concord.

 Some  mesh was stuck to the page randomly. I stamped through a stencil to get the wire mesh image. The film strip was cut from a Tim Holtz die, and inked with coordinating colours. String and flowers were used from my stash and the paper chip hinge, keyhole and '&' from my stash. These were coloured using distress inks, glimmer mist and distress paints to get the right look. The little letters were adhered straight on the page or onto card. A couple of stamps were used to add the final touches.
