Altered Composition Book - The Journey

It's that time of year for Back-to-School sales and I made sure to buy more composition books since they were priced at 2/$1.00!


I decided to do an Asian theme and use this gorgeous patterned paper from Best Creations, Inc and Mei-Li from Sister Stamps. Sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Asian Gardens Additions.


Here's a close-up of Mei-Li. After coloring the image with Copics, I added gold Brilliance ink with a q-tip to the lantern, her clothes, and the flowers in her hair to give them a subtle glow. 


Here's a shot of the back of the book. I didn't add anything to the patterned paper, I thought it looked great just as it is.


Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great day!


Supplies - 
Stamps: Sister Stamps: Mei Li; WMS: Asian Gardens Addition; PTI Peaceful Garden

  3. Hi Nadine! I haven't seen you on the PTI board in a while so I thought I would stop in and say hi. Love your composition book, that little girl stamp is adorable. Love the post below too, your island home is gorgeous. I have only been to Hawaii twice, and both times it was sooo long ago!
