Altered Journal Cover

Hi Crafters,

Just a week before reached UAE home. Waiting to break my slumber and so this Mixed media project today.

Altered my new Art Journal cover using Art alchemy waxes goodness.

I love the subtle peek of the various gorgeous colors against the background!!!

  • Took A5 kraft journal cover.
  • Prepped with black gesso.
  • Stenciled with TCW Art is stencil using Prima Modeling paste.
  • Added centrally a cheese cloth and brushed the whole surface with black gesso again.
  • Applied Prima clear crackle at random places for extra textures.
  • Added Dusty Attic chipboards,Resin pieces, Metal embellies, art stones using Multimedia Matte.
  • Brushed all again with black gesso and applied series of LSG sprays.
  • Then came Prima art alchemy waxes for the textures to show through.
Hope you enjoy seeing this Altered journal cover.

Altered Box

Hi Friends!

Today’s post is about an Altered Box, originally a Mobile package box which i was religiously hoarding for more than 4 years now. It’s a cute white 6″ box. Made this project a week back and gifted to my Dear friend for her birthday. She was thrilled to see this!!

Now will see the process of the project!

  • Took the box with lid, and white gessoed it totally.
  • Stenciled the base with Prima grid stencil with Prima light paste.
  • Sprinkled LSG sweet treats magicals on the stenciled portion and spritzed water to see the magicals burst colors.
  • Then its layered in Cheesecloth on all four inner sides and on the base centrally.
  • Doily, paper straws, Roses, resins and and other embellishments are added with few random partial stampings around the image.
  • Mini and macro art stones are added for little extra textures.
  • Timholtz chitchat stickers are added to kraft cs and added near the image.
  • A pink adhesive ribbon is added to the outside portion of the lid.
  • And on top of the lid, Prima Princess pp is added.
  • This finishes off my Project.
Some angled and close up shots for you!

Hope you like it!
Happy Crafting!
