Hello Dear Friends! This is alexandra again.Today, I'd like to show you how a simple walk through the neighborhood can take a unique dimension thanks to a series of Hipstamatic pictures.
I made this mini-album which is 3 3/4 x 7 inches using Hipstamatic pictures, Pink Paislee's 365 Degres Collection, a few stamps and the Bind-It-All:
STEP-BY-STEP:
1. I chose my pictures ( 3 x 3" ) and adhered one on each side of each page. I used gaffer tape ( 7 Gypsies ) on the side of each page.
2. Once that was done, I trimmed each page flush.
3. The structure of the inner pages being done, I started working on the covers. I really like combining different textures so I opted for heavy corrugated card box for the covers.
4. I stamped on the tag ( Kési'art ) and used double-sided adhesive for the ribbon.
5. Then came the fun part: the decoration of each page. I stamped on almost every page, using either a sentiment stamp ( Ali Edwards / Kesi'art ) or Tim Holtz's.
I stamped on the edges of the pages because I knew my journaling would go right next to the pictures.
I mixed two inks there to imitate the effect of the picture
6. After the stamping came the journaling and adding a few embellies. Then I used the Bind-It-All to finish the album. And here is a look at all the pages:
Of course this mini could have been made using regular pictures and if you have photoshop it's not too difficult to obtain similar effects through a few manipulations such as using a vignette and increasing the level of contrast.
