I took the prompt literally:) I decided I wanted to stamp on clear material.
I just wanted to make layers using some of my favorite stamps. I picked out the images and used Staz-On black ink for the stamping. I did let the pages sit and dry for awhile.
I used tissue tape to attach the pages, it is more forgiving as I was figuring out how to arrange everything:) ...and if I wanna take it apart again, it is easy....
I like how the layers change as each 'page' is turned.
I used an embossing folder to make the clock faces page. After embossing it, I ran the Staz-On ink pad over the ridges on the clocks to bring out the details. It came out nice and had some cool streaks of ink too.
The last colored page, I used alcohol inks. After I taped the pages together, I mounted them on a manila folder card that I colored with Distress Ink. The inside of this spell book is empty, still a work in progress.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have a moment to leave a quick comment saying, Hi:)
It is a bit quiet since October is over now.
Have fun hopping!

Kim, this is sooo fabulous! I love the layers and how it is put together. I just found my embossing machine and cricut cord (!!) so I am enjoying embossing a lot! I love the effect you got with the ink, so lovely! I really, really love this project! So nice to be back on a hop isn't it? I started thinking fondly of the 31 days and of course forgot the last minute panic posts I had to make! but it still makes me smile:) Happy Thanksgiving!
