First lightly spray your paper- I did front and back. Then wad it into a ball. Unfold and wad a few times until it's distressed to your liking.
Unfold and let dry. Here's all my sheets drying.
Flower Foot Designs puts a nice texture on hers- but I don't own a cuttlebug so this is what I did. I used a brown ink pad and ran it over the paper. This allows the raised areas to pick up the ink. I then tore the paper into random pieces and used tons o' modge podge to stick it to the game board and protect it.
I smoothed out the paper as I went and this is how the game board looked after being covered- front and back.
Now, to make it look like a Bible. I cut out Holy Bible on my cricut, but removed the letters and used the vinyl as a stencil.
I then used a gold paint pen to fill in the letters.
When I removed the vinyl stencil this is how the finished book turned out.
I'd say it looks pretty good. Can't wait to see these kids perform this fun musical. I know not many of you will be required to make a large Holy Bible in your lifetime, but I thought this would make the coolest wall treatment. It's as sturdy (if not more) as wallpaper and has the greatest texture. Hope you enjoyed. Love, Kelly.

Kelly, that turned out fantastic! You did a great job with it, and I'm sure it will look great on stage!
ReplyDeleteThat's great!!
ReplyDeleteI love the gold lettering!
I think I need a cricut- I am feeling left out- everyone has one!
(But I am still content with what I DO have).
I have never seen Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I have wanted to!
I do act in skits now and then at our church (I am part of the "troupe"), but my main gig is in the praise band :)
I am glad you shared the super-size idea- you never know when it may come in handy for anyone to have the know-how to make a large book- God's Word, or not.
Blessing to you as you make your home!
How cool!!

The game player in me wants to say, "You ruined a perfectly good game." But I guess it went to a good cause and it looks fantastic.
