Adriana ....

Hi there!

The sweet Adriana has two brilliant projects to show us today


“To my Valentine – Together, forever LOVE”
This is an altered art project which I enjoyed making.
It is a chipboard stand with a matching mini book cover. With “tinies” little versions of the amazing chipboards from ID. Being  February, the month of LOVE, I made a Valentine’s Day theme project.
Lots of techniques , distress inks  and stamping.

Cover of the book I used Tim Holtz embossing folder for the covers of the book. This created a texture cover, I inked the raised design and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder and then painted gold paint all over it, then painted distress inks.

With the window shutter I painted it with gesso (couple of coats) then texture paste to give a rustic texture on the chipboard. Inked the edges with chalk inks. The alphas are inked with Versa Color Bamboo then brown around the edges. Glossy accents on top.

Papers are Prima Pixie Glen Collection “Cornwell”
And 6” x 6” papers
Kaisercraft blossoms – blueshell & fushia.

I have enjoyed making these projects so much for Imaginarium Designs. I hope you find inspiration from my projects. Thanks Jane for giving me the opportunity to create with Imaginarium Designs chipboards.
