Alter It - Elphine House Australia

Hi there!

It's time for a new challenge at Elphine House Australia!  This week's challenge is: 

  “Alter It”Alter ANY item, and incorporate your favorite Elisabeth Bell design in it.

Use ANY Elisabeth Bell Design in order to qualify for
any 2 stamps of your choice from
Elphine House Australia.

For my project, I altered a spiral journal notebook I bought at Michaels for a couple of dollars.  The stamp I used is another brand new one from EHA called "Carrie On the Swing".  I LOVE this one!  She's so adorable with that cute little face!  I thought this would be a great gift for a young girl and you could add a matching pen to go with it!

I colored Carrie with Prismacolor Pencils and mineral spirits and sponged around the bottom part of the image while inside the die.

For ingredients used:

Stamp: Carrie On the Swing (EHA)
Paper: The Garden Party Stack (DCWV), Solar White (Neenah), Lavender Lace (SU)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Certainly Celery (SU)
Accessories: Paid ribbon (Jo-Anns), Moss Seam Binding (Really Reasonable Ribbon), lace trim (RAK), flowers (Recollections & Offray), adhesive pearls (Want2Scrap), rhinestone flower (Michaels), Floral Ovals Nesties, Classic Petals & Classic Decorative Inserts Four Edgeabilities (Spellbinders), Spiral Punch (SU), Fanciful Flourish (Cheery Lynn), stamens (Michaels), Prismacolor Pencils, mineral spirits, Bow-Easy, black marker (SU), sponge, Mod Podge, foam brush, sand paper, journal (Michaels)

How you can join in on the challenge this next 2 weeks!
