I was thrilled that we got to do a swap with Art Anthology and even better I got to work with one of my favorite colors on top of some other colors I magically have in my dash of inky goodness. I decided to dig in my bin of things to be altered. Do you have one of those or am I the only one??
So first I gave the paper ache book box a coat of gesso. Then I used the stamp Dictionary Page - 19015 to stamp all over some tissue paper.
Then I covered the front of the book box with the paper using a matte gel medium. I added the medium to the book box itself though not the tissue paper. I then decided to use the stamp Butterfly Specimens - 19415 on the front as well in random spots. After that I wanted to hurry up and add some color. Just in case I covered the front with some clear gesso and after that dried I went to town adding some Colorations Spray - Waimea Bay all overground the edges. Then I sprayed my mat and used the bottle of the bottle to add some color rings (aka you can use the Double Coffee Rings - 19568 or Coffee Ring Stain - 19230 as well).
Here you can see some close ups of stamping and splatter.
The chipboard I painted with gesso and covered with some Colorations Spray Mocha and brushed certain parts with the Velvet Paint Kona. I just loved playing with Art Anthology along with my VLVS. Keep coming back for more inspiration!
