Hey bloggers Rita Barakat here! I can't help but get excited when I see these beautiful rich colors! As soon as I saw this paper I had to use it for the cover of this mini album. I loved the colors so much I painted the title to match!
The title is acrylic.
I dry embossed it, added gesso,
then added color with
Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® Guava, Metallic Melon and Chocolate
Gelatos® and a dry sponge to blend the color.
On top and on the edges I used a black Stampers Big Brush.
The brown felt are rub ons.
I used cream acrylic paint on the edges & splattered it on the album. I brushed gold paint randomly on the inside of the acrylic cover.
I plan to use this album to record all the blessings our family has experienced through
the years - I think it will make a great conversation piece!
Rita Barakat Rita channels her boundless energy into her family (she has 5 kids!), directing a youth choir & drama team, and her eclectic paper crafting projects. She is on the design teams for Clear Scrap and Ta Da Creative Studios.
This is gorgeous!
