Fairy House

This month Altered Pages is partnering with SinCity Stamps!  We are really excited to share NEW chipboard die cuts and stamps from SinCity Stamps with Altered Pages products.  All month long be sure to check out the inspiration projects from both Teams.  We hope you enjoy what we have to share.
Today I am sharing the cover of my SinCity Stamp Die Cut Mushroom Book

To start ink the base of the SinCity Stamp Die Cut Mushroom Book with Radiant Neon Ink Electric Pink, then gently spritz with Dylusions Spray. Heat emboss with clear embossing powder. 


Cover the top half of the mushroom with Kaiser Craft Paper, gently sand with and emery-board or file. all the edges. Ink the all edges with Memento Dew Drop Toffee Crunch. Spritz the Kaiser Craft Paper with Shimmer Spritz. Carefully edge each of the holes on the top of the mushroom with Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. 

Cover the back side of the Mushroom Book top with a contrasting color of Kaiser Craft Paper. Adhere Dew Drops with Tacky Glue in each of the holes.

Make flowers to match the colors of the Mushroom Book. The Flower Trim shown has a ivory fabric silky back. Soak the flowers with water and use Faber Castell Gelatos to color the silky side of theflowers. Add a touch of Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to color the center of the flower.
Fussy cut Fairy from the Altered Pages Fairy Dolls Collage Sheet. Apply a thin layer of Gesso to the book adhere the fairy and cover with another thin layer of Gesso.

Finally, add a ring to the Mushroom Book cover and tie ribbons and Sari Silk it.

Come back Thursday to see the inside of my book!

 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.
