Reversible ATC mini book

Today's project is all about having a bit of fun, playing with products and trying new things.
I created a reversible ATC Mini Book. Hope you like it.

 Using old curtain lining, Intense Pigment Inks, stamps and transfers along with Andy's paint range, embossing powders and some vintage book pages I made this fun, super easy mini book.

Here is one of the two covers. This one is made with the curtain lining, coloured with intense stains, then, stamping, transfers and paints added. So yes you can use the fab transfers on lots of fabrics too!

This second cover is a mixture of paints, stamps, transfers and vintage book pages.

I decorated one side of the concertina insert with paints and transfers....

The other side is paints, stamping, embossing, mark making and text. This was so much fun.

If you'd like a detailed step by step, have a look at the tutorial on my blog HERE.

Thanks Suz

'Dark' - Featuring Andy's new Creative Expressions Releases

Morning everyone,

I don't know if you have seen Andy's new releases yet, but they are really worth checking out.  I have been fortunate to try the new Structure Paste, the Stamps and new Chalk Paints, and they don't disappoint.

I made this arch with quite a few of the new products.  I started with the new Structure Paste, all over the front of the frame, in a thin layer.  It went on beautifully, spreads easily and dried nice and quickly.

The whole frame was then given a coat of sponged Chalk paints, in several colours, mixed in places.  The back plate was also given the same treatment with one less colour, as was the media board.

The book plate, Circle, flourishes & cog were painted, then crackle medium added.  I found that the Creative Expressions Crackle medium works with the Chalk paints, which was brilliant.

I stamped 'Cracked Up', all over the frame, 'Eye Spy' in the circle, and 'Distressed Mandala' in two different colours on the backplate and media board.  'Vanitas' was stamped in black ink and clear embossed, then varnished with Super Matte Varnish.

I stencilled the word Dark to put in the book plate, then used the Crackle Medium as a clear varnish, over the eye and the word.  As I wasn't putting a paint on top, it just gives a clear protective coat.

I hope you have had time to check out the rest of the team's work, and Andy's new products.  I'm sure you will have as much fun playing with them as I have. x

Best Wishes,

Nikki
