This is gonna be a brand new experience for me! And thanks to
I tried a new technique: altering! And this is exactly the theme of the new challenge at CYP
ALTER IT!
What you're about to do is to alter an item using any medium and crafty tools, and it doesn't have to be paper!
I've never tried that before. First I had to check what 'altering' means. Thank you, Uncle Google! Once I knew, I decided to alter a small notebook, as it supposed to be not-too-difficult one. And I've seen lots of those tine masterpieces and I wanted to try.
Here's the result
I decided to go denim. I bought a kid's jeans once at a second hand store for peanuts, because I liked the embelishment on it and was supposed to use them for a card. But that never happened.
I cut 2 pieces of denim and placed one part on 'the wrong' side, then pieced together (by hand) and scratched the edges.
I also used some lace pieces, white flowers and a white tinsel. I think jeans and lace goes together very well. I also added three sequins and three little gems.
The effect is quite nice, especially that this is my first altered item ever made. And you know? I like that! I already made a second small note book, but I will keep it for an other occasion.
With this notebook I'm entering also the following challenges:
