See Through Albums

Sunday 14th of December, 1pm

In this class we will work through the technique of using transparent medium. We will create a transparent album using one I have made as a base to work from. There is a variety of album sizes and shapes to chose from in store.


I have used a fine spray of glimmer mist on each of my pages. If you would like to have this effect too, please purchase your album in advance and spray a fine mist onto yout album's transparent pages. Spray one side, leave it to dry for a number of hours and then turn over and spray the other side if you would like a heavier coverage. WARNING: the more you spray on, the more likely you are to get runs in the glimmer mist as it sits on the surface of the transparent pages rather than soaking in like on cardstock.

You will need:
Four photos of varying sizes (small, upto 6x4).
One photo as large as the pages of your album, to use as a back page to your album.
Two or three different double sided patterned papers.
Cardstock or low patterned paper for journaling.
Rubon accents, circles, phrases, etc.
Large chipboard accents to hang from your album.
Ribbon scraps to tie to the album binding.
Ribbon, metal rings, string etc. to bind your album.
Gel pens.
Wet glue, Xyron, photo tabs to attach all items to your album.
