Deborah's is the last book I work in for this Round Robin. Her theme is to create a spread using current techniques/products that you are working on/with. Oh! And include at least one quote that 'speaks to you'. She also wanted each artist to do one page including photos of our work space and a selfie (eek!). It's funny I thought that would be the most difficult page to do. I hate doing things that feature ME so in typical Terrie fashion I worked on the Selfie page first - to get it over with. Turns out it wasn't that bad and came together pretty easily. I just used a couple Stencil Girl stencils with black metallic paint on black paper. The photos are matted onto 2-sided patterned paper as some of the photos flip up. I added a few hand written notes. I don't have 'font worthy' writing, but it's mine.
The other three pages are done using techniques I learned in Gwen LaFleur's class that I took at The Papercraft Clubhouse in June. Love all the layers it creates - some more obvious, some kinda hidden. I also did a see-through shaker window with frames I fashioned to look like Daguerreotype frames using Metallic cardstock, stamped images and gold & copper Dresden 'aged' with black paint. Most of the stencils I used are from the monthly Stencil Girl Club. You can only get these stencils if you belong to the club. I used a combo of the June & July sets. The paints I used are a Matte finish. I also used Tim Holtz collage papers (Botanical is turning out to be a favorite!) and Distress Oxide Inks and Distress Paints. I also used rubber stamps from both Stamp Camp & Tim Holtz.
This quote speaks to me so much I've said it over and over. Not sure who said it first but it's generally credited to Audrey Hepburn.
That's it for this round! Can't wait to get my own book back. Now to think about the next Round Robin! What kind of book to use? What will my theme be? Will it be a narrow or broad theme? Hmmmm....
Thanks for stopping by!
