ACCUCUT MARIPOSA ALBUM


Butterfly #10

Item B2337



The covers are made out of canvas and the inside pages 
of chipboard.
The complete shapes have been cut in halves to get the album.


The cover has been gessoed and Prima stamped to get an antique background look. Inked to get a distressed look.
The inside pages were gessoed and covered with old paper pieces. Gessoed again and distressed with vintage photo ink.


Have used some Prima Mulberry Flowers, Prima Butterlfly and Prima flower ribbon.
All the butterfly cover edge is covered with a pearl guide.
When open it you can see the whole shape.
So many ideas to start preparing the inside pages. There is enough room to include mini frames, borders, lace and ribbon. 
I will start this weekend with the pages.
