The background is tissue paper and modpodge. The center is a woven bunch of scraps.. ( and ppl wonder why I keep EVERYTHING..lol)... Images are a mix of printed and silk.

The left page is a mixed background with a tape transfer tag. The right page is a Pergamano card that I've slipped in and can take out. No journaling done yet. It's been a crazy couple of weeks...

February 7-10 Bod

This spread was done with a wall paper base and toilet paper casting. The color was applied to the casting with markers and Perfect Pearls. It has yet to be journaled. ( Toilet paper casting: Mix some glue with water to thin it down. Choose a rubber stamp that has good deep pattern detail. Lay one square of toilet paper over the stamp and use a stiff brush and glue mix and "pounce" the glue in the grooves. Do this 5 times. Take a towel and press the excess moisture out of the toilet paper while it's still on the stamp. Carefully peel the toilet paper from the stamp and invert. Put on a pan and bake it on a low heat until the casting is dry. Paint or chalk as you wish)

These pages use a basis of patterned card stock with a cut-out for the iris-folded butterflys, which are made out of napkin scraps. Punched floralets and napkin bits were used in the design.
