My little folder was made following this video here
My cover started out as a piece of grey card, I used embossing paste through a couple of stencils then gave it a coat of gesso. It was then sprayed, inked, sprayed and inked to within an inch of it's live, but now it has a lovely soft leather feel to it, I was afraid at one stage that it might disintegrate! The floral embellishment is paperclay, coloured with DIs and then given a coat of Glossy Accents.
The papers, all freebies from Astrid - Thank you - had a little distressing and extra stamping with Weathered wood DI. A little bit picture heavy...
And the back cover was given the same 'treatment'. The album has lots of pockets to store journalling notes and photographs.
I am entering this at:
Creative Corner - Anything but a Card

Have a great weekend,

Who wouldn't like your little album! This is gorgeous and has such wonderful pages to look at. I can see why you had to use the paper. Wonderful design and the colors feel so soft! I have never made one of these but it went on my to-do Art list. Thanks for the wonderful pictures! ~Niki
Beautiful album, lovely soft colours and great design!! Astrid will be very happy to see this.
Absolutely gorgeous, must have taken you ages, and the results are well worth the time - fabulous! Hugs, Valerie
Such a gorgeous album Avril with lots of prettiness going on with those lovely vintage ladies adorning the pages. Lots of delicately edged pockets with some very special looking tags inside. Beautiful elegant make.
