I hadn't altered a Childrens Book for ages, whereas my last one was all bright and cheerful, this one is the complete opposite...........
Products used.......all Scrolls Work stamps (of course...lol), Texture and Acrylic Paint, Gesso, Copper Embossing, Clear Embossing and Metallic Cream. The bird was cut out and coloured from their Business Card......
Just so you know which childrens book was altered, have enclosed a picture below.
As the pictures have come out quite small and if you want a clearer look please enlarge them.
Hoping you enjoy the transformation.
We are off to Northampton today, but will catch up with you all very soon. Wishing you Sunshine and a Happy Day. Take care, Hugs Annette x

Wow, Annette, this is gorgeous! I feel so stupid, I did not realize exactly what an altered children's book started from, so glad you shared! Yours is amazing, looks fabulous with those sweet stamps. So glad you had an opportunity on the Scrolls Work team before it closed, you really know how to showcase the stamps.
Wonderful piece of art, will miss Scrolls, I have a few of their stamps. You're so talented I know you'll be on another team very soon.
WOW...Barbie has never had it so good. Love your amazing re purposing!
