FAT BOOK PAGES

Over the next few days I will be showing some of the fat book pages I have just spent time creating (which is why I have not been posting much lately, I had 10 to make lol). These are the first ones I have done for a swap on my forum so do hope the ladies like them. For those who do not know a fat book page is 4 inches by 4 inches square and when all swaps are received they can be assembled and made into a book using the Bind it All or simple large jump rings.

For this first one I sprayed some card with alcohol inks and Cosmic Shimmer sprays then ran the card thru the Cuttlebug embossing folder and over inked the raised sections. I then brayered some paper with the Big and Juicy ink pads and over stamped the face and eyes in black Stazon. After tearing the edges I attached to the page adding just one tear drop gemstone to the face.

I am using this for my challenge blog this week the challenge being EYES. Do pop over and enter if you have chance.

Mardi Gras

The challenge this week at Gothic Arches was 'Mardi Gras' - a topic that I love as I have a great collection of masks. This card uses my new mask stamp from Stamp Addicts and a smaller 4 masked cube from them too. The arch background was created using alcohol inks of various shades swooshed over glossy card. I then overstamped in black the smaller masks and added Stickles glitter glue. For the large mask I stamped using the resist technique and brayered with the Waterfall Big and Juicy ink pad. The eyes were from another piece of varying coloured ink cards. I added glitter glue in gold and clear, the black mask and two feathers and edged with gold Pentouch. I always had hoped when we lived overseas that I would get to New Orleans at Mardi Gras - never made it - but I can live in hope. Just realized that this fits DCM 'Green' challenge too.

Thank You Card

This card was made to say thanks for a lovely pre-birthday gift from my lovely friend Frankie. The white background card was brayered using a rainbow ink pad then put through the Cuttlebug embossing folder and covered with distress inks. I did the same with the vellum and attached it with a dragonfly brad. The stampboard was swiped with the same inks then overstamped and covered with lots of Glossy Accents to make it look cloudy not clear. The small card was brayered on glossy card then overstamped. I embossed the Glimmer Misted green card with another folder then oversprayed again with the Mists. Edge trimming done using my Purple Cows cutter.
