Friends to the End

Hi there, Linda here. This time I have a cute and girly project to show you. I’ve been working with the very beautiful and versatile Tiny Tabs mix media album. Pattern paper and paper embellishments is from the Nikki Sivils Audrey Collection Kit , very cute and girly. On the cover of the album I’ve used a Dress Form covered with pattern paper and two Bare Basics Wings in heavy-weight kraft chipboard. The paper flower is from my own stash.
I’ve embossed all the acrylic pages with a Sizzix embossing folder to create some extra texture to the pages. On the right page I’ve added some gesso and then used a canvas heart from the Hearts#2 as a mask. Various red Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Glam is added to the page.
The Dress Form (that I’ve used as a mask on other pages) in heavy-weight kraft chipboard and the dress image from the Audrey Collection makes a beautiful match. This page didn’t need anything else than a few splashes with gesso. On the right page I’ve used the same heart as previous as a mask , Glimmer Mist and just added a sentiment from the paper collection
Here I’ve used the Dress form as a mask when adding Glimmer Mist on the gesso. On the left page I’ve added a star from the Celestial Shapes.
On the left page I’ve added some green Glimmer Glam, from my own stash an 8mm filmstrip. On the right page I’ve added some gesso to one button medium size in heavy-weight kraft chipboard.
Here I’ve added some white gesso to both backgrounds, the same masking technique as previous pages.
The heart I used as a mask have got some glimmer Glam on top of the Mist. All the doodling on the pages is made with a Kuretake Zig writer pure black
The buttons have got a cote with Glimmer Glam
Hopefully this gave you some inspiration to create your own little mix media album.

Cute!!! I have to say my favorite page is the uncovered page with the one photo, star and mushroom — something about that chipboard and the b/w photo is truly eyecatching! I do love all the masking, too!!
