All Mixed Up Album

Hi again Clear Scraps friends. Leah here with you today to show you how I decorated my All Mixed Up Album.

Here's what the album looks like, don't you just love the different shaped pages?

I dry embossed the edges of the pages using different sizzix texture folders.


Here's a close up of one of the edges.

After I embossed it, I used different alcohol inks to add a punch of color, I then lightly ran Stazon ink across the raised edges of some of the embossing.
Throught-out the album, I have used Acrylic embellishments from the Little Miss Molly set and also Fleur-d-lis embellishments.



I'm always so impressed with how clear Clear Scraps acrylic truly is. You can emboss it, ink and stain it, and still see through behind whatever it is you lay it on.

I'll share a few more pages with you!





This little envelope opens up to reveal some  hidden journaling.



This page is one of my favorites. I embossed then I added Cactus Green Stazon ink to the rasied edges, then backed it with some beautiful pattern paper. I love how the colors mesh together so nicely.

There you have it, my Easter 2012 All Mixed up album!
I hope you enjoyed today's post, stop by my blog to see the rest of the pages I did not post today!

Until next time friends,

Bellgrave Send It Clear Card

Howdy friends, Leah here with you today to share a new to me technique and a beautiful Send It Clear card. We will be using the Bellgrave card, alcohol ink, Spray mist of your choice, and a Clear Scraps sentiment stamp.



Here's my finished card

I used my Cameo to cut out this butterfly using My Minds Eye pattern paper.

It is actually pop dotted on the card.

I wanted to add a little bit of product to the front panels, enough to create a frosted look, but not anything that looked like snow.

So I grabbed some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and spritzed it onto my alcohol ink applicator.

Grab your Mixative Pearl Alcohol ink next (shake well)

and generously add drops of it all across the top of the mist

I absolutely LOVE this pearl mixative. I need more in my stash!

Peel the protective film off one side of your panel, then take your fully loaded applicator and pounce, straight up and down, moving all over the surface of the acrylic.

Can you see the light pink sheen mixed with the alcohol mixative?
(In this photograph, the protective film is still on the bottom side.)

Let it air dry about 10 minutes, or speed up the process by heating with your heat gun. Then let it sit to cure while you duplicate the process on the other card panel.

I bet you can create some lovely creations using this technique.

Here's the card opened up.

and a closer look of the stamped sentiment on the inside.

I hope you've enjoyed today's card!
