52 Week Album Part 1
22 February 2012 | By Tanisha in Dress Forms, Flowers, Mini Albums & Journals | 5 CommentsHello there Basically Bare blog readers!! If you’ve been following Basically Bare either here on the blog or the Facebook page then you know all about the wonderful new products that were released at CHA. Today, I’m sharing what I created using the Rowdy Roadster mixed media album. I also used canvas leaves from the Bare Basics Blossoms and Leaves set, a chipboard filmstrip from the Paparazzi Embellie Set, and a chipboard and cardboard dress form from the Dress Me Up Dress forms set, and buttons in this first of my 2 part post.
I turned this album into a technique “free-for-all” displaying my favorite photos from the 52 Week Project that I participated in last year. I painted, stamped, stickled, heat and dry embossed, and glittered until I liked the results.
I used WOW embossing powder in high gloss silver on the filmstrip and then swiped it with charcoal ink and white acrylic paint. I dry embossed the dress form and then heat embossed it using copper WOW embossing powder and then covered the bottom with strips of rosettes that were spritzed with silver foil glimmer mist. I added feathers (which are really hot right now) and pearls to really “girlify” the dress form. Before adhering the embellishments to the acrylic cover, I added a glittered flourish and swiped the back with white acrylic paint.

I added another dress form to the inside cover. I tore away the first layer of cardboard to reveal the ridges. I lightly painted it with white acrylic paint and stamped it using a stamp from WOW’s Call Me Stamp set to add the script print.
I love how the different shaped pages add so much character to this album.
I painted the canvas leaf with glimmer glaze. Once dried, I slightly curled the end to add dimension.
I created the background of this page by inking over a Tim Holtz mask and embossing with WOW powder in earth tone olive.
I ran both tags through the cuttlebug before swiping with acrylic paint and adding stickles. I love the texture that the dry embossing adds!
Thanks for stopping by the blog today! Stop by tomorrow to see part 2 of this album!!
