Hello Delightful friends and family!
I thought I'd begin to share my altered manila folder scrapbook and thought it would be easiest to break it down into "bite size" posts.
Front cover of the manila folder scrapbook: Distress Stains I used to create the background: Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold, Mustard Seed and Fired Brick.
Rosette (1" x 12") strip of card stock; Stem (1/2" strip trimmed down in length to desired size) accordion folded, glued down and then Distress Ink (Peeled Paint) blended on edges; Leaf - diecut from Taylored Expressions. The stamped butterflies are Hero Arts, the flowers are from the Dylusions - How Does Your Garden Grow set (Ranger) and I've stamped them with Stazon jet black ink and masked to repeat. Button from my stash. Most of the designer paper I used throughout this project is from My Minds Eye.
I've used 2 Manila Folders cut in half for this project. If I was to do it again, I'd probably only use one folder, it would have been plenty for a mini album.
Tools used: Fiskars Trimmer; Cuttlebug (ProvoCraft); Scor-Pal; Heat Tool, Blending Tool and Non-Stick Craft Sheet (Ranger); Bind-it-All with their 7/16" wire ( Zutter).
Hope you enjoy this stamping, distressing, scoring, blending, diecutting project!! Thanks for visiting and stay tuned for Part 2.
