“My Contacts”

I am so lovin’ these new Archival Cast designs that Sandra Evertson has come up with. These are so fun and unique. I wish I had about 20 more hours in my day to play.

I got my contact book back when I was pregnant with Olivia in 2007. I have had books before but never kept them, never really liked them. Then I came across this one and I hope I never loose it. I have been wanting to do something to the cover for a while now so I took the dive!

I am really into a the blues and greens right now, but I wanted my relic to POP out. I think I succeeded.

Below are some picture of the process.

Plain cover, the kids have gotten their hands on it.

laying out some trinkets and adornments.

my work space.

secured and gesso’d

one of many layers of spray, paint, ink…….

I love the effects that Anna (Finnabair) does, I wanted to try and lift it.

I used tons of paints and mediums on this. There is such a learning curve to this it is crazy. But I am loving the out come and am pretty excited about doing my gardening journal next.

Enjoy the pictures.

Love the Pop on this!

I love my handle, These brushes are some that Little Miss O didn’t clean out after using them so I figured I would retire them with style.

Thank you for stopping today. Be creative!!!
