Altered Pages & Leaky Shed Studio Designs art supplies

Today I am using this lovely chipboard bird cage from Leaky Shed Studio.  The images are all from two Altered Pages collage sheets – Beauty in Yellow and Fairy Wings.  Don’t worry, I've listed all of the links are at the bottom of the page for you.

 
The background is made from a single 8 x 8 piece of paper from the Glitz Sunshine in My Soul pad.  
 

The black vine on the card was one of the wonderful precut strips from Bazzill’s Just The Edge collection.  The flowers from my stash were embellished with Dew Drops and a string of pearls from an old Mailbox Muse kit (Paris, I believe).  I hope you like the card.  If you would like more details on the construction of this card, please visit my blog, Robin’sBirdhouse. 
 

All of the Altered Pages collages & ephemera and Leaky Shed chipboard pieces have so many wonderful possibilities!  I hope you’ll use them and share your pieces with us on the Facebook Altered Pages page.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
