If you want to join in with making an altered book through the month of July click through to the Passport to Art challenge blog.
Here on this blog I am going to share how I made the page for today's prompt. Today we are visiting two places - Thyatira and Sardis. The art challenge is to uses repeat patterns on the page.
These are the next few pages in my book.
I wondered about unfolding the middle page.
But then decided not to and taped the fold down.
I covered the page with gesso and distress inks and put some distress ink through a Dina Wakley Mosaic stencil. I decided to make a pocket for my journaling tag.
I bought this Baby Feet stamp in Hobbycraft for a pound and cut it up and removed the heart.
I printed the footsteps as my repeat pattern.
I coloured the tag with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and used the same colour through the stencil and on the stamp. I journaled on the back.
Here's the finished page with the quote and verse on. I also added a piece of map from a page I had torn out.
Thanks for stopping by.

I am loving the progress of your altered book. I have never attempted one, altho my daughter made us a fabulous one for our Silver Wedding a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think you have been brilliant to re-purpose that footprint stamp. I have occasionally seen stamps in the bargain bin, and thought 'that is OK, apart from that detail' - NOW I know what to do with them!!
I am more of a needlecrafter than a papercrafter- but find your ideas and pictures so inspiring
Brilliant blog - please keep it up.
Summer blessings xx
Oh that's gorgeous, I love how you've used the stamp!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I'm back on day 9, but reading each day's lesson and jotting down ideas in my notebook. I hope to do a multi-day catch up soon.
