Dreams - Altered Journal cover - Anat Wekslet

 Hello crafty friends!

It's Anat here sharing my new project using fabulous Dusty Attic's Chipboards.

That's my new Journal, I altered the cover in a unique way - I've covered it with a  piece of the amazing large Damask panel. Damask is one of the patterns I absolutley love! as a stencils, stamps and especially made out of chipboard.

I have chosen some favorites chippies to complete the feminine look of the cover, creating a minimalist composition.

All chipboards were covered with black gesso,  brushed with different pastes and finally rubbed with waxes.

Here are the beauties I have used to alter my Dreams Journal:

Altered Notebook - Joanne Simmons - Mood Board Inspiration

Hello!  Wow!  How nice is this months moodboard??

I have created an altered notebook.

To start I used one of my embellishments.  I like to make these up just for fun and then add them to a page or card.  This is what I started with

So I created this embellishment using a chipboard doily as my base and then adding the broken numbers, bits of the heart attack panel then a flourish.  I did change the blossom as you will see in the pic.

Next I covered my notebook.  I painted it first with some extra body acrylic paint.  Added a little extra texture using the gradient texture stencil.  I then added some wax over the top.

Before I added my embellishment I added some perforated mesh.

Finally I added my embellishment and splattered with white paint

Here are some close ups

Angels and Demons Journal Cover - Svetlana Sanochkina

Hi, friends! These winter months are full of cozy evenings and books. So I can't stop crafting and redesigning covers. This one is about angels and demons and about their fighting inside every person.

Altered Journal - Patricia Basson - Mood Board Inspiration

For this month beautiful Moodboard from Dusty Attic, I chose to decorate a Notebook cover. I loved the soft Peachy and pink colors and chose them as the main color scheme.

 

After two layers of heavy gesso I added stenciling with texture paste and white crackling paste from Prima. While still wet I sprinkled Antiquities Embossing powder from Ranger; California Stucco on top of the stencil pattern. I let it to dry naturally and then heat set the embossing powder.

I placed the gesso'd Ornate Frame #2 on the cover and sprayed it all with Cape Cod Coral and Fussy Navel Peach Sprays from Lindy's Stampgang. Also added Amber Color Glow from 13Arts.

I embossed a twig from the Leafy Frame set #2 and a frame from the ATC Frame set #3 with Orbit Olive Gold Embossing Powder also from Lindy's.

With a few Glass pebbles, Lace and Prima flowers and leaves, I have a perfect handmade gift ready at hand!

The act of putting pen to paper

 encourages pause for thought, 

this in turn 

makes us think more deeply about life, 

which helps us regain our equilibrium.
