I started with a chipboard album.
I started with a coat of white paint and added texture with a woodgrain stencil. I applied silver embossing paste over the stencil to create a wood grain effect.
I then stamped the stampendous birds using water resistant ink on white cardstock. I colored the images using watercolor pencils.
I accented the covers with burlap trim, twine and mini roses. After I finished I decided to add snowflakes in the background.
Here is the mini album open to show back and front.
