Altered Book Swap Pages
Here's a little sneak peak at the pages I just completed for an altered book swap that I am hosting. I am a sucker for Halloween and since the other completed pages in this book were very "seasonal" in nature I thought I'd do something inspired by my favorite holiday.
 |
| I started with some commercially made paper from Stampin' Up and added some paper tape down the center to support the spine. I hand-colored all the orange elements using regular old magic marker. |
 |
| I couldn't resist getting a raven on the page somewhere. This sparkly fellow was perfect. I used a charcoal pencil to add some shadowing around his body to make him stand out a bit more. |
 |
| The image of the witches was cut from a decorating magazine. (They're actually a large cut-out silhouette that you can put in your front yard.) The yellow is magic marker again. |
 |
| Some hand-written elements help embellish the pages. |

Love your blog!
I like the paper from Stampin' Up and like what you have done with adding the hand-colored orange elements and the paper-tape. I can imagine I can find some witches in some of my Martha Stewart magazines.
This is a great idea! And of course the crow is perfect! I adore crows, such wonderfully intelligent birds.
Oh! You need to put in the 'followers' option as I would sure follow your blog!
Thanks!
