Altered notebook - Two Monthly challenges

Hello Crafty friends!

Today I am sharing with you my second entry to the Creative Artist Mixed Media challenge and my first one to Bleeding Art Challenge. Both are Anything goes.

A friend from work is about to leave the company and I wanted to make her a gift. I altered a notebook for her. I was inspired by Nuneka. Without any further ado, let me show you the notebook:

I applied some modeling paste through my Manuscript stencil from Finnabair and glued a metal butterfly cut in two. Once this was dried, I applied two coats of black gesso over everything. I applied two coats of Finnabair's turquoise and purple rust effect paste. I did the same over a hand molded piece of clay covered with black gesso. Then, I sparkled a bit of Wow! gold embossing powder on the notebook, and heatset it. As final touches, I highlighted all the texture with white gold wax and glued a few pebbles.

What do you think?

See below more details:

I will be back in a few days with another post!

Félicitations pour être dans le Top3 de Bleeding Art.

Ça fait plaisir de voir une française gagner des challenges...

Je me remets un peu au mixed-media que j'adore, mais que j'ai laissé de côté pour de la carterie.

Bonne journée Audrey.

Amicalement.
