"ART" the key to my stress reliever


Just finished 2 more pages to my mini album. The first one is a little fold out card attached to my black acrylic page. The precious steampunk image is from Altered Artifacts Etsy Shop and I just dressed her up a bit with I AM ROSES on her hat and added a mini grunge key with heart charm. The key on the front of the fold out album is Maya Road and I embellished it with gold embossing powder, then sanded it and ran Walnut Stain DI over the top. Attached ribbon and more I AM ROSES tiny rosebuds. The metal corners are from my stash. The fold out opens up very simply for pictures to be added with some pearl and rhinestone bling that I've had forever...
My second page is the paper background is from DCWV "Timeless" and I used a swirl stencil over the top and spray Lindys Stamp Gang Gold Gossomer over the top. Applied gold rhinestone brad for a bit of bling. Made a side pocket trimmed in black velvet ribbon and a layer of Rock Candy Crackle Paint over the top. Edged the entire page with Gold UTEE. Made tag using Tim's Tag diecut and ran it through flourish texture fade. Distressed the edges and inked with Black Soot DI and added tassel from my stash and token from IDEAOLOGY collection
So that's 7 pages done and 3 to go. See you later... xoxo
