This is my DT contribution for our PP challenge this week and I just loved playing with my PanPastels and Crafty Individuals stamps to make this little altered domino book.
I wish I had taken more photos to show you the stages (but I didn't!!!) so I hope you get the gist of it.
- Cut white card and black sugar paper to size.
- Used my scoreboard on the black to create the zig-zag (accordion) pages.
- Blended yellow, blue and green PPs to create a sand, sea and sky effect.
- Stamped with CI plates 272 and 278 and used a rubber to take some of the background colour out of the images.
- Painted the images with DIs.
- Chopped up the images to the size of the book pages and edged them with walnut stain DI.
- stuck the pieces to the black pages and added gold pen along the edges.
- Stamped the bunting from CI plate 284, edged with walnut stain and stuck on pages then glued some vintage gold thread across for the string.
- Made the domino covers using alcohol inks, painted cheesecloth and added shrink plastic shells and sea horse again using CI plate 272.
I added bakers twine to tie it all together but hated it and ended up yanking it out (luckily no damage done). I swapped it for the vintage gold thread I have. Much happier with that.
It would be lovely to see you join in with this challenge at PanPastel UK . You don't have to use PanPastels to have a chance of winning a set of PanPastels from Your Creativity Store.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
