Today's "DT Post Card"
Hey everyone! I was asked to Guest Design over at Stamps & fun = Creativity blog
challenge. This week's challenge is a sketch challenge.
challenge. This week's challenge is a sketch challenge.
My post is up a bit early but the challenge starts Monday July 26! I used some older GCD Studios pipeline (Paris Nights) that I have had that I bought LOTS of! I created the base for this vintage album out of one piece of 8 1/2 X 11 card stock. (I will be doing a video tutorial on this in the future!)
I started matting up the various mats I had cut to fit the album. I inked them up with Vintage Photo distress ink. I also like to add an inside pocket for someone to add pictures or other mats into. Another hidden pocket is in the right side. There is a full tag pullout. This could have either a photo on it, or even some journalling adhered to it! Also on black remember you can always write on the back with pencil or white pen!
I added some sewn areas to add some embellishment and interest. I had some Eiffel Tower images and Paris images and used them on this album by layering them.
I felt like I needed a few more accents so I used some bling, a spinner/compass metal element, and a few other accents. I also had an old "Paris" stamp set that I have no idea which company it is from, but I stamped a few stamps throughout this album to add more interest. I love how this album looks and it was fun to make!
I hope you enjoyed this project! Please check out the other DT members' projects! Thanks so much for joining me for this Challenge over at Stamps & fun = Creativity!
