We're all mad here- Altered notepad

Hi my lovley friends. Today I would like show you my altered notepad. I love fantasy books especially I looove Alice in Wonderland ,so I  create little notebook  with Alice on the cover .

I   Started to apply a thin layer of white gesso on the background to protect it. When dry, I stamped
amaizing text stamp from Creative Embellishments . I glued down mini quatrefoil panel and wood hot hexagons .I covered the chipboards with  layer of heavy white gesso .

To alter gorgeous chipboard frame and bird I used  black gesso to  paint it and Inka gold (old silver)to make it more shiny. When it was dry I spread some glass microbeads and glued it with gel medium. Then, I glued down this  frame  and spread some Mica Powder (Purple)  here and there with a dry brush,I sprayed some water on these spots.

After I sprayed my notebook with mists :13 arts  pearl violet , orange , chalk yellow lemon and distress spray stains dusty concord, spiced maramalade , wild honey .Then inked the edges with a black ink pad.

Before and after ;D

So I hope you enjoyed todays post and hope I've given you some inspiration to get out your old notebooks and give them new life ! XOXO Aisha
