Another Altered Book Round Robin

These are photos of my book before I sent it off so that will come in August or September ... as I complete my work in each of the other books I will post them ... my theme "Night Circus" so I did a pocket for sign-in tags, Fortune Teller and Tree with all the lovely lights ....

I have been playing around

Got some Tim Holtz Crayon's and I have been playing with them ... these are some samples (I stapled them to papers that have the technique on them) ... they are not card fronts but I will be doing some as card fronts .... I didn't enjoy doing all of these but there are some I am sure I will over and over again ...

this is crayon gesso fresco - the yellow, green and red one is the way Tim does it but the purple, blue and yellow is my way ... which I will do again and again

this is crayon micro glaze resist

this is ink micro glaze resist, I like this better I think

this is crayon, texture smudging 

this is crayon water coloring with ink and water splats ... I LOVE this one I can finally do water coloring ... I am so heavy handed that I have never been able to get a water color effect but this way I can ... I will be using this lots

this is crayon textured resist ... I kind of like this one also so I will probably be doing it again

this is crayon layered coloring ... not so sure I did it well or will do it again much

this is an ink over ink technique but I did crayon smudge over ink kind of looks like faux pastel ... I stamped in white ink then stamped in color ink then accented in crayon and smudged that ... I like it lots so will be doing more of that and as you can see I turned this one into a card ...

STAMPtember with Tim

I was doing a little playing and decided to work with Tim's stuff on STAMPtember ... it's been fun and I like doing some of this stuff just most of the time I want to "get her done" so I don't take the time to go thru all these steps ...... go on over and watch his video then have fun ..... the metallic doesn't shine like it does in real life but you can see it there it just look white ...

Got to play a little today ...

and I played with "Tim" ... well not in person but I did play with his techniques and distressed inks ....
