As you know, every other Wednesday, Altered Pencil Lines debuts a set of very cool non-scrapbooking projects inspired by scrapbooking sketches. In case you missed it, here is my project from two weeks ago:

The background is painted with acrylic paints. The flower is patterned paper, covered with a thin coat of gesso, outlined with a black marker, colored with colored pencils, and then silhouette cut. (From a technique by Emine Pala found here.) The words are all vinyl stickers from Staples (friend to the city gal without a scrapbooking store).

During the in-between weeks, Altered Pencil Lines features an inspirational article (“Inspiration Wednesdays”). Past articles have included book reviews and project instructions and in two Wednesdays, an interview with the fabulous artist named Tejae!

Until then, check out the blog. Our new projects (I made earrings) are up sometime today…
