Stencil I - Keys to Understanding!

By
Stencil 1 is the Altered Pages partner for the month of April...
I love my  large Key Repeat Wallpaper Stencil!!!

 
This month I have been inspired by others to create Pocket Letters!
Using papers from the Mailbox Muse Kit Art on the Orient Express, cut 9 cards 3 1/2, for the base of my page!

 
Tape a couple of cards on a hard surface, washi tape works well.  Through the large Key Repeat Wallpaper Stencil ink a few keys on cards in strategic places with Versamark
 

Heat emboss with black embossing powder.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Layout cards as they will appear in the Pocket Page

 
 Then embellish...
Ink and heat emboss  Leaky Shed Gears,
adhere with double stick tape!


Add Edges Bazzill banners, ribbon and rhinestones.


 
Print quote on computer, spritz paper with spray mists.  Cut lines of text, ink edges, adhere to cards.
 
 
 
 
Please be a traveler, not a tourist.
Try new things, meet new people.
and look beyond what is right in front of you
Those are the keys to understanding
this amazing world we live in.
- Andrew Zimmern


When finished place cards in the pockets. 
Add little gifts and letter to page for your pocket pal!

    The embossing really shows well thru the sleeve. Makes it able to create oodles of possibilities! Great job!

 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.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
