For everything about you that makes you nice to know - Altered Mixed Media Book Cover.
Hey everyone!
Today I have made a Mixed Media Altered Book cover inspired by Maremi SmallArt's latest live. You can find her video here. While thinking about the theme, I saw this beautiful board on Splashy Mix's latest challenge(Inspired by the colors and flowers) and decided that my Papericious - Pretty Basic patterned paper pack would be perfect for this project!
I started by cutting my patterned paper into small squares and stuck them on the cover to form a grid pattern. Next, I added some color t
o the edges with my Distress Ink - vintage photo and black archival ink. Then, I cut out the heart from the pink paper, distressed the edges, and stuck it on the cover. To add some more mediums, I stamped around the heart with a background stamp and some archival ink, added some splatters of diluted gesso and black ink. For embellishments, I realized that the flowers I had did not match the colors of the cover so I decided to make a few flowers out of the remaining patterned paper. I stamped the leaves from my Altenew stamp set on to white cardstock, colored it with my watercolor pencils, and fussy cut it. Arranging the flowers and leaves took some time but once I liked how it looked, stuck them with my hot glue gun. I cut out the sentiment from an old card, distressed the edges, and stuck it. To finish the card, added a few sequins and perfect pearl drops.
