A Hint of Steampunk

Hi everyone...Robin here with today's post.  Most of the card for my Pocket Altered Page were straight collages using papers, tapes, embellishments and collage images from Altered Pages so I'm going to keep my explanations short this time.  There are three I'd like to highlight. 

This accordion folds so that there is plenty of room for writing a letter to your pen pal.
A scrap of leftover metal sheeting was large enough to cut out this key embellishment.


Dimensional adhesive squares make a great pocket space on the front of this card.
Scroll all the way to the bottom to see how these all fit together in my Pocket Altered Page and for a list of products.

 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.
