I decided to try embossing and am more than happy with the results! I sponged the Art Stencil onto the Album with SU White Craft Ink and used White embossing powder. I had to be careful when heating this as the album is vinyl and heated right up, but thankfully it all worked - a risk well worth taking!
I added a length of pink satin ribbon around the album front over, then followed it with some pink tulle that has been knotted and secured with a large pearl brad. The tag has been stamped with a butterfly from Layers of Color Butterfly Collector art stamp set. This has been tied to the brad with some gold thread.
The medallion has been attached to a SU Scalloped Circle (thank to the neighbours SU punch) and secured to the middle of the album!
As you can see here the embossing is vibrant - I love using the Embossing Powder with white ink, it makes it 'pop!' I love the finished album - so feminine and dramatic at the same time. I made this for my neighbours birthday - I am determined this year to make those gifts I have been meaning to make for years, especially for those who appreciate handmade - it is time for this girl to put more 'thought' into my gifts, after all, it is the thought that counts - isn't it!?!? LOL
