Hello everybody!
Liesbeth right here with you right now. I might love to indicate you my gilded e book/starbook with fantastic girls faces, gilded and framed behind glass!
My inspiration and start line this time was the gorgeous Lynne Perrella stamp units by PaperArtsy: LPC069 and LPC070. Love the truth that the faces of the stamps are in profile, excellent to chop and body.
I used three alternative ways of gilding: gold go away flakes, golden paint and rhinestones. And naturally I did not overlook our present theme ,Nature’! Let’s begin!
The floor I used are 6 cardboard microscope slide mailers and glass slides. They’re used within the medical world to guard and ship medical preparations to the labs. I used 2-place mailers, they’re additionally obtainable with 1 or 4 locations. Together with the glass slides they’re so nice to create with!
First I made the e book, I piled up 6 slide mailers and glued backsides onto entrance sides.
At this level I used to be certain the pages wanted a bit extra…however I did not know what… So I made a decision to first create the glass slides.
Time to make use of the beautiful pictures of the Lynne Perrella stamp units (LPC069 and LPC070)! I stamped the completely different girls on white cardstock with darkish blue ink (Tsukineko Versafine Clair-Twilight, and minimize them out a bit greater, exterior the strains, to make certain it matches.
Utilizing Ranger Misery Inks (Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire and Deserted Coral) and mixing instruments I colored the faces, giant areas of color. I believe it is about the identical colors because the paints I used. With just a little little bit of watered down bleach and an artificial brush, I bleached some particulars of the photographs right here and there to focus on them.
One of many glass microscope slides was my template: I minimize 12 slide measurement playing cards out of the stamped pictures. I hope this is sensible … if not…see photograph beneath 😉
With a little bit of cheesy glue I glued some shiny gold go away flakes on the edges right here and there. I’ve just a little field with multi shade flakes…no concept what model it’s. As soon as the glue is dry, you may make it shiny by gently sharpening it with a paper towel. I utilized a really small drop of Shiny Accents on each nook of the stamped paper and added the glass, and I glued the entire thing within the area of interest…. 12 instances!
Some extra for our present theme Nature: Onto the left pages I stamped some small components of the stamps like this rose. Once more with Tsukineko Versafine Clair – Twilight. I inked them with only a nook of the ink pad. The opposite stamp is a sort of a swirl…you possibly can see it on different photos. Above the glass slides, into the thumb grooves I put golden rhinestones.
The e book is prepared! Right here I present it as a star-book I believe the photographs of the stamps and the printed tissue are excellent collectively..though the model is totally completely different, it really works!
One of many pages.
For the entrance of the e book I used some left overs from reducing the stamped pictures and glued them on the edges. No waste!
The bottom of the (nearly) closed e book. I used a minimize out stamped picture from one of many PaperArtsy Lynne Perrella stamp units (LPC069).
An outline of the e book amongst a lot of the supplies I used.
One other element image of one of many pages. Oh how I like this stamp from LPC070!
I had a lot enjoyable with this gilding journey! It’s a pity that on the photographs the shininess isn’t very seen. In actual life the e book is shiny and glossy and bling bling, consider me!
I hope I impressed you to create some gilded tasks your self! Have numerous enjoyable, see you subsequent time!
