An altered butterfly book...

Today I'd like to share how to easily change the cover of a dummy book!
You can find this post on the The Crafter's Workshop blog, too!

This is how it turned out: 

 

****

A step by step tutorial:

Start by sanding the cover really well to get rid of the gloss, and so the gesso in the next step will have some grip to it .   

  Paint the cover with white gesso, front and back!  Leave to dry...

 

 Paint the cover with brown acrylic paint... it doesn't have to be all covered, 

a distressed feel to it is OK. Leave to dry. 

Paint the cover with (quick) crackle medium. Leave to dry. 

   Paint the cover with white acrylic paint, it will immediately start to crack, so add your paint in one streak, don't go over the same spot twice. It doesn't matter if the paint doesn't get on evenly, it adds to the distressed feel of it!

Leave to dry... 

 

 Spray some color onto the book. I used a custom made pearl spray. Leave to dry. 

 

Stamp some script (Magenta Style) onto the cover with a black permanent ink. 

   And now for the fun part: 

Add structure to the cover with the Butterfly Collage stencil : 

add structure paste with a palette knife.   
Leave to dry.

 LOVE this stencil, I will be using this one a lot! 

Hope you like it!

A thistle again...

I used the leftover ink on the stencil from this post, to create this background.

coloring with a watercolor pencil 

is all it takes to create a card like this.

A thistle...

PS - Don't know what happened to the colors when photographing, 

the orange should be more a honey color, and the green more green; 

more contrast to it. 

The stencil is from The Crafter's Workshop. 

The stamps are from Art Journey of course.

FLOWERS ... for Katzelkraft !

I am happy to be a guest designer for Katzelkraft again today!

Today I show you various cards with the new flower stamps!

The background has been made with brusho, to which I flicked bleach to achieve the white dots.

I kind of like it!

****The background has been made with leftover inks from the craft sheet. Because of the structure on the paper it turned out to be dotty.

I fussy-cut the rose.

The background has been made with brusho too, to which I flicked bleach to achieve the white droplets.
