Lost your creativity ?

For this booklet in watercolor paper  I was inspired by Craft Stamper Magazine ( issue October 2013 36/37/38/39 pages ). The pages have different sizes . The background is worked  with watercolor. The borders are simple doodles made using a black pen and the pages are kept together using strips of Washi Tape.
Here is what it looks like with English translations of the text under each images.

Another cover

Today, another cover for an alternative book !


 
  Part one (before stick on the initial cover ) 


I worked with canvas and with gesso white.After I glued different elements that I found in my boxes ( Letters , puzzle pieces, ticket, mesh, gaze, heart and bird in wood, papers...) I painted everything in white and began to work with modeling paste(corner left in bottom/ corner right in top and under the letters in a middle) . After everything is dry, I used some different colors of  Dylusions Ink Spray waiting for the colors to dry before using another.
To finish and protect my work, I used a layer of clear vanish transparent.
Now it's ready to stick it on the book:



And the others parts of the cover :

  The spine of the book





The back of the book


I put Waski Tape to cover the edges of the book and voilà :





Thank you for looking !
Have a good day .

Cover

Hello, I would like to share with you some Mixed Media craft.
I've been crafting since a long time but Mixed Media is my new love and
it has taken more and more place in my "work "!
Today, some simple stuff : just a notebook with a new cover : I worked on a piece of canvas with acrylic paint , alcohol ink and added pieces of paper and wooden stamps.



After that I glued it on the cover and added gaze before I put the heart with the wings . I worked the heart ( free stamp from  Stamper craft Magazine /Issue February 2012) with Distress ink from Ranger + Diamond glaze and before it dried I put some Perfect Pearls from Ranger. The wings are a free stamp from  Stamper craft Magazine/ Issue March 2013.






That's all for today.
Thanks for looking, have a wonderful day.
NathWest.
