Another magazine page to finish up my Summer section of my Seasons Altered Book, following Elizabeth's Altered Book Course. Gessoed the pages as before and inked with the other two Summer Distress inks "Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean". Stamped a boarder round the edge again and dotted 3 acetate butterflies with seed bead bodies around.
Only thing I found was that the gesso on this spread undemined the right hand side of the previous PINK page!! making it decidedly whiter, and the boarder stamping less defined. I restamped the boarder (thank goodness for clear stamps!) I had written the flower names and had to re-write the right hand ones too.
Oh well you live and learn which is why I am on a course!!

Hi BJ,
This is a great page! I love the colors. Yes, you are in a class and the best part is experimenting, don't you think? I love the pink page below also. I'd say you are coming right along!
I'm sitting in Starbucks (where it is air conditioned) as we are still having a heat wave here. Catching up on some of my favorite blogs!

Hi there, nice to meet you at The Craft Barn today. Would love it if you could email the photo you took to me? My wife took some great photo's but not of me!
Lovely photo memories BJ. I like the addition of the butterflies.

That's the hazard of having to place an altered page directly behind another altered page. Although I had never heard of the problem you had, I will definitely look into the problem. Of course, I don't use distress ink, so that could be part of the problem.
I like your border and the butterflies. The butterflies make a great addition and embellishments on the pages. And three is a perfect number, too!
