spring greenery in a fairy pop-up book

As you probably know, Altered Pages is celebrating February with "greenery," the 2017 Pantone Color of the Year. I love green, and this time of year in the Midwest, I'm ready for a little spring and green!

This is a layout from a little handmade pop-up book--it's only about 2 inches by 5 inches, so about 4 by 5 inches when it's open. The quote is from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

spritzable inks--mists or splash

background stamps and ink pads (all the Neons are on sale right now!)
fairy collage page
a hint of shimmer--Wink of Stella pens
painty background prints--Gel Press plate

Have a wonderful Thursday!

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!
