Hello Friends
This month sees the Blogaversary of Mini Album Makers and we are celebrating by having a Blog Hop and Giveaway!!
We are giving a $25 gift certificate from Blitsy.com to one lucky reader whose name will be chosen at random from all of the comments on the Design Team blogs (so please be sure to leave one). In addition, our sponsor, Lindy's Stamp Gang will give a $25 gift certificate to one lucky participant in our challenge.
Congratulations to Autumn on achieving a wonderful first year, the blog has gone from strength to strength and it has been such a pleasure to see so many amazing entries! If you have arrived here from the wonderful Jennie Atkinson's blog, then welcome!
I have gone all teeny tiny this month and created a vintage looking domino album, with a sea theme.
I am sharing a few step by step instructions, in case you have not tried a domino album before. I will not be adding measurements as I find that dominoes come in a whole variety of different sizes and I would not want to confuse anyone!
I measured the domino carefully and then took some cream card, scored it to fit the domino size, then spritzed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang Moon Shadow Mist in Golden Doublooms. Whilst this was drying I added some gilding flakes to the edges of each of the dominoes and left these to dry too.
I attached my images to the front of each domino with Distress Collage Medium and then coated each with two coats of Collage Medium. This is a really important step if you wish to coat the dominoes with Resin, as it seals the image properly. The Ice Resin dried with a slight vintage tone.
Next, I mixed the Ice Resin (use your chosen type of Resin) and added it to the top of each domino and left these to dry thoroughly (it may take a day or two).
Before attaching the accordion element to each domino, I added a picture to each of the 'pages' and added a piece of ribbon to each cover. and then attached the accordion to the covers.
To finish off I added some Tim Holtz Chit Chat words and two jewellery beads to each domino to represent feet.
A final view of the completed mini album!
