Welcome to February!

Where does the time go? The holidays have blown by, Creativation has come and gone! Valentines Day is almost here! This month the Altered Pages Design Team will be using the Pantone color of the year: GREENERY!

Hopefully you can see the "Greenery" on my collage!

Supplies:
Canvas Board
Large sheet music
Tissue
Black ink
Mailbox Muse Paris stamps - Eiffel Tower
Gel medium
Vintage Text
Gelato - Green
Water Brush
White Flowers
Glitter
Heart Pins
Paris words
Gold Design Stickers
Glue

On a Canvas Board paint a light green background using Gelato - Green and a Water Brush.

While the canvas board dries, stamp the Mailbox Muse Paris stamps - Eiffel Tower with Black ink on tissue. So the ink will not run on the tissue, prepare the tissue by spraying it with an aerosol hairspray and let it dry before stamping.

With gel medium start layering paper on the Canvas Board, first the Vintage Text.

Then add a bit of large sheet music, the words Paris and the stamped tissue. Set aside to dry.

While the collaged papers are drying paint the white flowers green with the Gelato - Green and a Water Brush, let dry.

Add a dash of Glitter with the gel medium to the bottom of the canvas.

The Gold Design Stickers finish the top of the canvas.

Add the final embellishments Heart Pins and painted flowers with glue!

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!
