This is a one of a kind Altered Chipboard Mini Album that was designed and created by me, as a Design Team member for the Reneabouquets.com Store and Reneabouquets Etsy. This item is a one of a kind work of art and will not be reproduced. It is filled with lots of texture, dimension and technique that are all a part of my "beautiful with an edge" style.
This album is an interactive album that is full of so much detail, it could be used for a Beach Vacation, or even better, a Beach Wedding Album.
This album has enough room for around 55-60 photos according to sizes used. It measures 6 1/4" x 6 1/4" (Does Not Include Tags, Trims and Laces in Dimension Calculations)
ALBUM DETAILS:
The first layer on the cover is paper from the pad that I distressed the edges on and then added a layer of Wide Gold Embroidered Lace and then a layer of Scallop Shell Lace across the bottom.
Next, I put together a Beautiful Box Small Square Shaker Box , topped it with a Beautiful Board Seashell Scroll Frame that I distress inked pink with a sponge, then added embossing ink randomly with a sponge, applied gold embossing powder, and heat set it.
I filled the shaker box with Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits- Tiny Heart, Beautiful Beads Hand Tinted Glass Ocean and Beautiful Beads Bronzed Teal Iridescent Pearls. To the frame I added a Printed Beautiful Board By The Sea Small Seahorse Chipboard, real seashells that I 2 toned inked, Seafoam Roses and Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers, Teal And White Roses & Leaves Mulberry Flowers with cheese clothe and burlap string bows tucked in. I topped some of the flowers with a couple of Butterfly Kisses Spun Sugar Single Side Printed Butterflies and the stage was set for the rest of the album.
I covered the spine with distressed edge paper and then added on a Teal And White Rose. I created a dangle using a real seashell, burlap strings and By The Sea Trinkets In Teal. The mermaid was a leftover from a trinket set I used to carry.
The back of the album was covered in distressed edge paper for a designer look.
This fat, little album ties together with a beautiful gold, satin bow.
I love all those chunky layers!!
