Thank you for all the wonderful comments you left me, I'm thrilled you like the start to my mini chunky altered book :0) Today is Smeared Ink Day which means Smeared Ink challenged us to only use their imagery! So here's my page 2 using Smeared Ink's 12 Days of Creepmas. I'm actually using the entire set to create my book!
Two Skellie Doves
Just like the front and back of my book, I've also covered the pages with the same gold Christmas gift wrap from my recycle stash, you can see more of the snowflake design on this page. I also applied Brushed Pewter Distress Stain to all the edges of the book too. I shrunk down the
image in Photoshop CS6 and printed it out on Neenah cardstock and
coloured it with Copic markers. For a bit of a Steampunk flair I hand
pressed the image inside a Cuttlebug cogs and gears embossing folder and
applied Distress Ink Fired Brick to the background. I roughed up the
edges with Tim's Paper Distresser tool and applied Black Soot Distress
Ink to the edges. For a touch of sparkle I sprayed it with pearl Smooch spritz spray and then added Inkssentials Matte Accents to the skellie doves and some Viva Pearl Pen Magic
Transparent White to give the red 'berry' areas and the number "2" some dimension too. The image is adhered to the page with Scotch Quick Dry adhesive. Don't you think the birds look like they're made out of a weird transparent gellatin...it's creepy and I love it bwahahahahaha ;0)
In case you get lost along the way or visited me first and would like to
hop from the beginning then the blog roll is up in my sidebar over
there on the right hand side! You're next stop is Lisa!

Another great page in your little book. I do like the shine on the birds and the subtle cogs texture too!
