# 7 of the Altered Book Round Robin

This happens to be the last in the 2019 RR ... the theme of this book was Stencile your Art Out ... so all she asked for was use a stencil with your spread and have some aqua color ...


These are her grandkids, she also wanted bright colors even Neon and I didn't really have Neon except in Gel Crayons that were for my grandkids


This is my favorite stencil and I love using modeling paste with it ... 


She is a Mermaid on land so I found these images in my stash, I used the Wink-of-Stella clear pen again on highlighted places but it just doesn't show in photo's, this is a Finnabar stencil and it's becoming one of my favs also

A couple of more cards

These are using G45 paper Botanical Tea Collection all pattern paper and images are from that collection ... as you will see I used the same image two times because I had two sheets of images and I really liked that particular image a lot ... what doesn't show up is the Wink-a-Stella pen I used on the flowers and birds to give them a bit of sparkle ...


This is the unfolded card on the left

# 6 Altered Book RR

This book's theme was "Pick a Stick" ... pulled sticks from a pouch with Themes and Techniques written on them then you did your spread accordingly ... also we were to do tags to tell what our sticks said ...

Spread #1 was to pull 6 small sticks (Technique sticks) then do your spread, mine was to apply paint with a pallet knife, then your choice (I decided on butterflies to make all the colors go together and give a focal point), then apply crackle medium, then use gesso, then use distressed crayons and make drips .... my tag is used as a tip-in in the middle of the spread


Spread #2 was take a Theme stick then pull 6 small Techniques sticks, mine Theme was Asian, small sticks were use fabric, use fiber, use a spipple brush to add color, make a pocket, use a stamped image, use tissue paper ... my tag was put in the pocket which is sticking out at the top right corner behind the image of the Asian tattoed man
