Mini album using Funky Fossil papers and Stencils

Dear Reader

Here is my mini album made using the papers from Funky Fossil Engine Room 6x6" and 8x8" paper pads together with my stencils

This is the stencil - mask used on the front cover

Here are all the stencils done with gold glamour paste on black watercolour paper

Below is a close up of the glamour paste on the brown paper and where it was really thick, it cracked...

This is the cover of the album, I used the 8x8" papers to wrap around the chipboard base.

Next, I used my clear embossing pad on my wooden gears and gold embossing powder to make them shiny.

I forgot to photograph the cat stamp process with gold embossing powder separately, but I cut him (and the rest of the crew for the inside of the album) out on my Brother Scan n Cut which worked perfectly with a slight gap all the way round.

I then added the crackle stamp to the already cracked paste to make it look more intentional...

I masked off the stencil and tore a strip of fabric (Ikea curtain lining - calico) to make my own ribbon using a brush and Jet Black Archival ink.

Here is a close up of the cat with the ribbon running behind him.

I had a left over foot print from a stenciled image, so I added it to the cover.

I love how detailed the stencil is, and it worked perfectly on this fabric.

Here are the pages with the 6x6 paper cut to fit the pages so that there is a black border.

I also cut different shaped tags for photos to go in all the pockets and put different papers on the front and back sides of each tag.

For each tag, I made a skinny ribbon using the same fabric strips as the front cover

This is a close up of the tags with their ribbons.
