Hey everyone!!
I am pretty excited to share one of my favorite Graphic 45 collections today, Renaisaance Faire. Every collection that G45 has is so gorgeous and I love the vibrant colors of the Ren Faire collection. I made a mini album using a Cosmo Cricket album that was given to me in our Secret Santa Swap on the forum from one of our wonderful members, Colleen. I was waiting for the right time to use it and this was it! I did use one sheet of Romantique Collection in the album, but the rest is Ren Faire. Hope you like it and get inspired to do some crafting with G45!
This is the cover. I saw an album from Tara Orr and loved how she used the ladies on the front, so that is what I did.
After inking the edges with some Distress Ink, I used Liquid Pearls in Bisque around the edging. The cover didn't need much due to the beautiful images on the paper. I used Prima. Petaloo and Flying Unicorn flowers throughout the album and a Prima butterfly on the cover.
The first pages:
I made a pocket for the tag and fussy cut the lady out which I added to the 2nd page.
The next pages
I inked all my edges in my album, and used the Liquid Pearls to outline some frames as well. I also used one of the beautiful cameos sent to me from my Irish friend Cathi..she's a doll! I love the punch out sheets that come with the collection. It makes it so easy to use alot of them as frames. If I didn't like the picture on one side..I just flipped it over.
I added a embellie I made using Memory Glass and an image off one of the papers of the Ren Faire. I love working with Memory Glass..it's alot of fun to make your own embellies this way. Fragments also work great!
On this page, I made a little folding piece. It has room for little pics or journaling. Stamped the bird cage and bird using Prima stamps. The flocked rubons on the next page are from Prima as well. When working with flocked rub ons, be sure to press harder than you would a normal rub on. Flocked rub ons are tricky but if you gently peel back as you go, you will be sure to get your rub on correctly without any mishaps.
Last page. I cut out one of the beautiful ladies, and added her to one of the pages. I also added a little hand mirror to the flower.
I hope you had fun browsing thru the pictures! I really had fun making it to be able to share with you all. Hope you will grab some G45 and get crafting! Remember you can get G45 in the Flying Unicorn store along with those beautiful Flying Unicorn flowers!!
Happy Scrappin!
