Album Details

Album: The Tinkering Ink Peekaboo Album I used doesn\\u2019t seem to be in stock anymore. Hopefully you\\u2019ll use something you already have anyway but if you\\u2019re looking for a mini with shapes punched out like mine, the closest thing I can find to it is this one, which is on clearance right now.

Album Color: By experimenting, I got a lovely mottled yellow on my pages that reminds me of colored Easter eggs. You know how colored eggs never come out smooth and perfect like they do on the cover of magazines?. I love the uneven colored-eggs look on my pages. Here\\u2019s how I got it:

* Painted 2 layers of Golden\\u2019s Gesso. (You could try white acrylic paint if you don\\u2019t have gesso).\\n
* Sprayed a layer of Lemon Meringue Glimmer Mist and blended it in.\\n
* Spritzed some uneven splotches of Lemon Grass Glimmer Mist. I rubbed the Lemon Grass with my blending tool. The foam applicator left a lot of \\u201cbubbling\\u201d in the mist, I think because of the gesso, and then set the bubbles and splotches with a heat tool.

Handmade flowers: I made my large turquoise flower out of Tim Holtz Grunge Board. To color the petals I painted two layers of gesso, then sprayed and dried multiple layers of Patina Glimmer Mist.

It turns out that the gesso was not holding the Patina dye color, so it came out light, although very beautifully glimmery. Liz Hicks from Tattered Angels suggested using Making Memories Spotlight acrylic paint on chipboard or grunge board if you want the dye color to show more vibrantly.

The tiny paper flowers and the large flower were inspired by the artist, Alisa Burke. The orange paperclipped flower is from Paperclipping Episode #118, which is now archived, but available to our Members.
