Tutorial #2

Altered Alpha

Create something different! Alter an initial for that Special Someone and make it with LOVE!!!

Supplies needed:

2 Sheets of Making Memory Papers, 1pc of Transparent Paper

Making Memories Stickers, Toga Alphabet Sticker

Book Pages, Ribbons, Buttons, Fabric Flowers

Eyelets, Distress Ink - Fired Brick

Stazon Ink - Teal Blue, Ranger Stickles (glitter)

Step 1: Cut The Papers
Place your C on your flowered paper and trace around the C alpha.
Do the same with the striped paper.
Cut the C Shapes

Step 2: Make the embellishments before glueing your papers on the alpha.

On the flowered side, I glued false and real buttons and a transparent tag.

I stamped a frame (Autumn Leaves) with StazOn on the transparent sheet. Cut it out and I pasted alphabet stickers on it. I distressed the stickers so that the colours would match.

On the striped side, I glued buttons and word stickers (Making memories). I attached flowers with eyelets (that's why its important not to glue the papers before).

Step 3: The Edges

Ink your book pages with distress ink.

Tear them in little stripes. The width should approximately match the edges of the letter.

Ink all around the stripes

Step 4: Glue

Glue your C shapes on each side of the alpha. Ink all around.

Glue stripes of book pages all over the edge of the alpha, inside and out.

Teared edges gives a vintage look to your project.

Then you can give the final touches by attaching the ribbons and glueing the transparent frame with invisible dots
