This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone,

Happy Thursday !

For this week's Vera Lane Studio post I have made a little accordion book with the set 'Chicken Coop' that was released this week. 

I printed the chickens then coloured them with Copic Markers and cut them out. 

The background was made with Distress Oxide inks in yellows and orange. I also stamped the background randomly using the same colours and.

I glued the chickens and the sentiment into the book, added some doodling along the edges and that was that. 

The outside was kept simple with pattern paper from my stash and a bit of ribbon. 

You'll find Chicken Coop HERE.

Home is where the heart is

Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my post for AALL & Create where today I have made an accordion album.

Here's how I made it:

 

First I made the mat for my little cards would go on. I decorated the outside a little. First I toned it down with white paint and a brayer. Next I used this stencil to add interest. I used Distress Oxide ink for this. 

Next I used the text stamp of this set to stamp allover the back and the front. I also added some doodling with a black fine liner. 

I added a title, replacing the word 'heart' with a pink heart. 

Next the background for my cards. I used Distress Oxide inks to dunk and dry until I was happy. (Broken China and Fossilized Amber).

I then used the same stencil and the same inks to add more detail. 

Again, I used the same text stamp + one from the bottom set to add more texture to the cards. 

Stamped the images for the focal points next. 

Here you see I added them together with some sentiments from the same sets, some washi tape and pieces of fabric. I also added black lines. 

They are now ready for the cover mat. 

I think it looks fab! Pleased with it.
