Supplies:

• 1 bottle to mix Walnut Crystals
• Gold Leafing Pen (Krylon)
• 2 Sheets White Cardstock
• Music Paper (7Gypsies)
• Altered Pages Red Collage Kit

• Altered Pages Words #127
• Altered Pages ‘Soiled Doves’ #465

Instructions:

1.    There is no preparation to do to the tablet.  Simply Glue the music paper on top of the tablet.  

2.    Now, get into the Collage Kit and pull out the flowered paper. Tear in some kind of direction. Glue over the top of music paper and trim the ends of any paper hanging over the tablet. 

3.    Mix your walnut crystals with water in the empty spray bottle to a solution that is satisfactory to you. The more water you use, the lighter the walnut spray will be. Now, spray the music paper and the flowered paper to a degree that is appealing to your eyes. 

4.    With your red mulberry paper, tear at the edges to make it look ragged and glue that down on any part of the music and flowered paper. 

5.    Next, pull out your gold large netted piece from the collage kit. I glued it diagonally, but it will virtually work in any direction you prefer. 

6.    Cut out your ‘Wild Wimmen’ picture and glue in the top right corner. 

7.    Next, pull out your ‘woman’ from the Soiled Doves Collection, and glue it down. Leave a little corner edge open to put your Heart and 7 Gypsies tags. Slide the heart into the corner and stick the tags underneath to hold them there. 

8.    Now it is time to put the ‘much’ transparency of the woman under your microscope lens. Carefully glue around the edge being careful not to get the glue too far into the picture. It will smear the image. 

9.    Get your mini folder and glue it to the in the bottom right side of the tablet. 

10.   Find your Altered Pages ‘word’ # 127 in cardstock and cut out the eye, key and the bolt lock. Affix the eye to the file folder and the lock to the top of the woman. Now glue the key to the bottom right. 

11.   Get your red twine out of the Collage Kit and gently pull it through the glass bottle and tie it around the tablet at the top. Only go around the cover page of the tablet. 

12.   Go over the slide, and woman with your Krylon Gold Leaf marker. 

I hope you enjoy this project as much as I enjoyed doing it!
