Christmas Mini Album

All this week the Stampendous Design Team is hopping with the Maya Road Design Team!  There are fun prizes and tons of inspiration.  Head over to the Stampendous Blog or the Maya Road Blog to find out who is hopping every day.  Make sure to leave comments along the way for a chance to win one of the prizes!

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.

Products:  Stampendous Christmas Charms, Maya Road Burlap Trim, Maya Road Twine, Maya Road Organza Rose Ribbon, Maya Road Large Chipboard Coaster Book, STAEDTLER Karat Aquarell Watercolor pencil

Hop over to the Maya Road Design Team Blog for more inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by!

    Ah, this is lovely Sue! I love the texture from the mask (I got that one two weeks ago but not used yet) and the little birds with their Christmas crowns on, lol! I really must start getting into Christmas mode otherwise I will be in panic mode instead come December, lol!
