Page 5 of an album for my new sponsor child. To show her my family/pets.
RIGHT SIDE OF THE PHOTO:
This page didn't go exactly how I wanted it to. But to start, I used the Cuttlebug Embossing folder on the right side of the paper. Then, I used Ranger's Distress Ink Faded Jeans and their ink applicator tool and ran it across the embossed image. I used a wavy blue ribbon to separate the 2 sides, matted and attached the photo.
LEFT SIDE OF THE PHOTO:
I used 4 fragments. When I first made the page I want to stamp on each one but the ink refused to dry. I even left it overnight. So to get around that I used another technique using clear embossing powder and alcohol inks. First, I used the ink applicator tool and “gold” alcohol ink to decorate the backside.
For the front, I took “stream” and covered each fragment entirely. It dried quickly so I took my clear stamp and after inking it with the embossing pad I pressed it on the fragment. I immediately poured clear embossing powder (any brand is fine) on it and heated it with a heat gun. I let the fragment cool down completely...5 mins or so. To finish, take the blending solution and rub off the alcohol inks. The ink under the embossing powder will stay. It's trapped I guess you could say. I attached each fragment with Ranger's Glossy Accents.
