G45 Featured Tea Time With Alice -Altered Book

Thanks for joining me on this wonderful Monday morning.  Today is the first day in a while that we started off the day with sunshine here in Ohio!  YAY!   Which means it is time to sneak outside and take LOTS of pictures today while I can!  Things have been busy here creating projects, and getting ready for CHA.  This will be the first CHA that I've attended and I am SUPER EXCITED!!!  Been making all kinds of goodies with G45's NEW Magic of Oz line, and I am just loving the combination of Oz and Halloween!!  A definite must have!  And speaking of Halloween, today's project was created using the fantastic Halloween In Wonderland Line!  These Halloween mixed lines are so versatile, making them just perfect to use all year round.  Now onto the tea party...

For the Cover, usually I would crumple and layer some tissue paper for a more rough and tattered look.  But I just loved the aged color and texture of this book already, and felt the brass would make a wonderful contrast.  

Just Rite Stamps were used to create the perfect title and heat embossed to match the brass.

To create the shadowbox effect, use mod podge to seal all the pages together.  Do this by painting a few layers over the closed book pages along the outside edges, gently holding the pages pressed together flat. 

Once dry, use a craft knife to carve to the desired shadow box size and depth.  Cutting a few pages at a time, removing and repeating.
