Tina here today with my latest PaperWhimsy Amazing Alterable project.
I love combining Amazing Alterables with my favorite junk store finds and molded resin castings. These 3 things make my heart soar with happiness.
For today’s project, I used the ‘l’Abbaye Un’ alterable. It is full of little niches for your junk finds and has a great architectural look.
I gave the raw alterable a quick coat of gesso so that my papers would be extra bright when applied. I used some of my own vintage papers to fill the back spaces, and the PaperWhimsy ‘l’Abbaye un slip’ printable for the edges and sides. I printed this on vellum paper so it had a transparent effect. The printable is made specifically for this alterable, so no need to measure to size.
Once my vintage papers and printable were applied, I used adhesive metallic tape on the edges for a different look.
Everything was aged with alcohol ink and crackle effects.
I filled the niches with some vintage finds and packing material. (I don’t throw anything away)
I had adhered several of my own casted resin pieces (the face, butterfly, body, and legs) with 2 wings from Prima (Relics & Artifacts).
I colored each resin pieces with water colors, mica powders, and glitter. Yum!
I finished her off with some bling and a hand-stamped sentiment. You can never have enough glimmer and shine!
