Mixed Media Album
Hi everyone I want to share my Basically Bare project. They have so many awesome chipboard pieces and minis to work with. I had so much fun making this mixed media album mini album. It comes with: chipboard, acrylic, and canvas pages. I decorated it with May Arts ribbon and trim and Kaisercraft patterned paper.
This first page is acrylic I fussy cut the paper and added some Kaisercraft rubons and May Arts silk ribbon
This page has the Basically Bare chipboard & acrylic stars. I used Adirondack paint daubers in gold and used a paint pen to outline the edges. Added a tiny brad button to the center and diecut sentiment.
This page I tore some of the cardboard off to reveal the corrugated paper. I used Tim Holtz crackle paint, the felt cloud from Basically Bare and May Arts trim.
This is another acrylic page what I did was I glued the May Arts trim together to form one huge piece of trim. Loved this I think I will do this and make an entire page.
This canvas page I used a Crafters Workshop screen and misted the page – added another BB felt cloud and made a sentiment for it.
This page I used more TH crackle paint and then covered the sun with May Arts mesh trim to it. It is a little hard to see but this looks really cool.
This is how it looks standing up. I hope you guys enjoyed this mini as much as I enjoyed making it and working with Basically Bare and May Arts ribbon and trim. Check out my blog for more pictures.
