Most of these posts on here are going to be to do with swaps and circle journals that I am taking part in over on UK Scrappers.
Today's little batch of piccies is for Netty's Take One Stamp Maze book ... I was thinking of hosting a Christmas Maze Book swap as I love them but as this one has come along ... I'll leave it to Netty to do all the hard work of hosting :P kind soul that I am haha !! I'll have a think and see what other swap ideas I have buzzing around the inside of my head.
Anyway .... here are some pics, I have made my maze book with a spine (for the 1st time) I normally do them with just a strip of ribbon connecting the 2 covers. As I don't know what I am going to receive back, and also because I did my faces in mad colours and sort of Picasso-esque ... my cover is covered in a bright paper ... not normally me but I think it goes well. Also - because I am a complete OCD freak (blame the Capricorn in me) ... I have named everyone's page lol !
These are the faces in progress, I coloured the face in with water colour pencils, the bits around the face (hair??) are painted with shimmer paints, I stamped 2 faces for each 1 face so I could colour in and cut out the eyes and mouth, which I then stuck on the 1st stamped and coloured image. I then UTEEd the face, cut out and stuck on to a black square of card.
At first the pages in my book were cream bazzil ... but I ripped them out and re-did it with a lime green PP, I have stamped each page with a different Tim Holtz stamp which will be half covered by the faces but I dont mind :)
I just need to think up a title for the front and then I can send it off :)
This is fabulous!I can't wait to have one of those faces!
ReplyDeleteThis is looking rather fab missus :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the look of your little book, I might have to 'pinch' the idea of using a spine. Very clever. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat stamping too.
