It figures that I finish my project in the knick of time to post my challenge and my camera battery ~ completely dead!I decided to alter a SU album with the new decor stencils! I went and bought some stencil paint. (i'm still not sure how to get it off the brush). I purchased three colors to match my album, two blue's and a silver. I also added some satin ribbon and silver hodgepodge. I cut the backs of the brads down so they wouldnt show, and used crystal effects to attach the hardware.
I started by taping my stencil to the front of the album. then I added my light blue, put some dark blue on top then added the silver. I wanted each color to show, so i didnt go too crazy with any one color. The photo of when I was done with that is down at the bottom.
Shelli Garnder did this at Stampin' Up's leadership conference and I really wanted to try it. With so many babys coming, do you think this might make a good baby album?? I hope you have as looking as I had creating and I hope you have time to stamp something fun today!

ReplyDeleteHow pretty! What a great way to step up those albums.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Selene. Really dresses up the album!!
ReplyDeleteSelene! This is just beautiful!!! As for getting the paints out of your brushes, I always use those cheap, cheap foam brushes and rinse them with water. If they come clean, wonderful, if not, then I'm not out too much.
