Altered Book page

Well I started this probably a couple years ago when I saw an article in a magazine (can't remember which one!).

I cut, painted, glimmer misted, glued & left to dry! Some time later... once it had dried (2 years should do it!) finish project and submit for stampotique challenge!

I had always intended to use this with my Chocolate Baroque underwater stamps, which I have but I have only just  discovered stampotique stamps and only have two at the moment but the mermaid fit in perfectly and gave me the incentive to get on and finish this.

I'd been having a play on Friday colouring some calico with distress stains which I thought was perfect for the mermaid.

Happy craftin

    This is so pretty and well worth waiting the two years for it to dry - I have lots of projects and canvases like that too.
