Altered Donna Downey Projects with Jennifer!

 Jen Matott here with another post and an altered Donna Downey Poppies and Peonies album.  I had a blast adding paste, Gelatos and embellishing this little beauty with Craftsman goodies!

I started with spraying some black licorice Gelatos mixed with water over the gear stencil and then some stamping and Gelatos directly on the covers.  I added modeling paste through the gear stencil for a fun textural surface!

 Here's a view of the front cover with it's layers of fun embellishments and flowers.

 A close up of the paste gears and the title letters from Prima's Decorative Wood Embellishments.

 Don't you love those metal Gears??? Oh my!  They are my favorite!

 Here's the back cover and you can see the Gelato drips and modeling paste better.  The album has the text already printed on it!  It's so inspiring!

 An inside peek of some of the pages... another stencil and Gelato colored area.  The papers from the Craftsman line are perfect for an art journal or idea book!  

I hope I inspired you to grab one of these albums and alter with some color, texture and embellishments!
