Yesterday, Donna Downey posted about the unibind on FB, I have one of those so went to her blog to check it out. Loved what she had done with the album. So of course had to go find mine, I had totally forgotten about it and had tucked it away so really had to search for it!! I only had black albums so figured I would play with one of the little ones first. I painted it white then proceeded to emboss on it with utee, all went well until I blasted the utee with the heat gun the paint underneath started bubbling! But went ahead and finished it and added the of green wash over it, here's a pic...
For the big album I skipped the white paint and proceeded to emboss with the utee, then did a blue wash over it. I kinda liked it the way it was before I did the wash of paint. Oh well, I will make a bunch of stuff and put inside the album and show you what I came up with when it is done. Go check out Donna D. blog and see the gorgeous one she did!
Have a good one!
Donna
I love your Christmas piece. It is so cheery!
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS Donna!! LOVE Your tag!
ReplyDeleteLove the tag! And the book covers! All great techniques, and I think it's great to do all these techniques to have as a reference!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhhhhh LOVE your entry!!!! It's such a happy and cheerful tag too!!! GREAT job!!!
ReplyDeleteDonna, you've created a gorgeous piece that is the very definition of "merry and bright!" What a lovely way to incorporate the chipped enamel technique-- on the numerals AND the sweet poinsettias, too! As always, your design is beautiful and so well thought out!
ReplyDeleteNow I need to find out what a Unibind is, and I'm probably going to want one, aren't I??
Your album overs are great, too! I always end up bubbling my paint, but I figure hey, it's just another method of distressing, right? ;-)
What a wonderful Christmas project! Love the little banner you added!
ReplyDeleteOuu! So cool! I never even thought of using red and green to create distressed poinsettias!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!
What a cool Christmas tag, awesome pointsettias!
