Spring - Altered Book with 13arts

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

 The spring has come late this year and actually it still feels like winter, with temperatures 

as low as 6 degrees. But the beautiful cherry blossoms from 

the 13@rts Pastel Spring collection seduced me.

 

I created a book in altered Art and it looks more elaborate 

and complicated than it actually is.

 

 

 

It takes some patience to remove the pages from the book with a sharp knife.  

I also love to make it not look so neat, it has more charm that way.

 

some close up's

a background paper and some cut out flowers from 'Pastell and Spring'

 

I always like to use natural dried maerialia, such as moss, birch bark, 

willow catkins or feathers

 

love the Glass microbeads as flower pollen, here additionally colored with gold

the cut-out swing hangs freely as a 3D element

suitable chipboards were painted with Color Glow 'Rubelite' and white

 

I also used some motifs from transperent foil, such as clock, butterflies or cherry blossoms

The foil motifs are very easy to cut out and look like accurately stamped motifs.

I hope I could inspire you to try it out!

Thanks for your visit!

Happy crafting!
