It's Denise here today, to share a faux leather, mini album with you. I used the Dreams of Autumn collection and created this little " Grateful" album from scratch.
Here's a little look at it from the side, so that you can see how I bound it together.
I read a Craft Stamper magazine ages ago and saw a tutorial on how to create this faux leather look.
So I used some BoBunny cardstock to create the outside covers, as well as the pages inside and then added the sewing to really give it that leather look.
I fussy cut a lot of images and used these along with stamps and die-cuts to create the inside pages.
I kept the dimension to a minimum, so that I did not add too much bulk to the pages.
I used a white gel pen to add some faux stitches and highlights to the pages.
On some of the pages I left space for some journaling and on other pages I could just go and mount photo's.
I used stamps throughout the little album, as this is a great way to add detail, without adding bulk.
On the centre spread here, you can see where I knotted the string, through the eye-lets to secure the pages.
I used some of the intricate laser-cut chipboard pieces. These are thin and work so well on projects where you don't want the bulk.
Here is a look at the last few pages.
I think this little album could be used as an Abundance Journal, but there are many things that one can use it for. I think it would make for a special, handmade gift too.
Lastly, here is a look at that faux leather back cover. The BoBunny Burnt Orange Vintage cardstock really was the perfect choice for this faux leather look too!
Thanks so much for stopping by the BoBunny blog today! We hope that you have found some inspiration. If you would like more details on how to create this faux leather look, then please pop past my blog.
