So I've had this bird chipboard mini hanging around our scrap room. And its been calling my name to alter. Yet it wasn't until two days ago that I decided to finally give it some life!! So I decided to cover it with the beautiful paper collection by Prima, called Printery Collection. So I gathered my goodies and just worked and worked until it was done!! When I was gluing things down I kind of just didn't really put much thought into where everything was going to land. I love it when I just go with flow...... I call it "Scrap Improv!!" I drew some wings on a piece of chipboard and cut it out to see if it looked good. I made two wings and I love how it gives the covers some dimensional interest!! I did some stamping, and some major distressing! Four different colors to be exact. I first layed down the Tea Dye and went further into the edge of the page, next came Frayed Burlap a little closer to the edge, on top of that came Vintage Photo, then the darkest color Black Soot. I have never done this but I loved the look..... Oh yeah your going to see more of that technique!!! I made the vellum pocket pullout for more real estate, since of course it was small to begin with.
I hope you like it!! And if you have this birdie lying around your scrap room, I hope this inspires you to create your own!!!! Follow us on Facebook, and YouTube for more projects!!!! Have a blessed day...
