AFTER: Finished Mini Album |
There are loads of different and fun techniques used throughout this mini album and I'm going to share several of them with you. Feel free to drop me a note if you have any specific questions.
On the cover I used Tattered Angel's Glimmer Mist in bronze to color this beautiful flourish from their Glimmer Chips line. After the flourish dried I edged it with Distress Ink (tea dye) to give it an aged look. While the chips are self-adhesive, I found that I needed to add a bit more liquid adhesive (Glossy Accents) to ensure it stayed put and didn't lift. Next I added some paper flowers and bling from Prima Marketing, as well as a couple suede-like leaves.

Because the album grew in dimension, I needed to bump up the metal rings to 1.5" rings, and added pieces of ribbon to them to make them a bit more pretty. All of the embellishments were from my stash -- you'd be surprised at all the goodies you have squirreled away! Embellish with relish! This Autumn Bliss Mini Album is now ready for the season.
