Spring Mixable Album

Hello! Jennifer here on the blog today! I'm happy to show a mini album I created for Easter using the Spring Mixable Album!  Each page has a different shape with alternating acrylic and chipboard!

I also used the new Flower  and Butterfly Mixers on the front of my album. The flowers are colored with glitter paint from Art Anthology and I added buttons to the centers.  I chose Ranger Alcohol Ink in Butterscotch to color the butterfly.

Next, I'm going to show how I colored the front of my album.  First, I used Ranger Alcohol ink in Pool covering the entire surface of the acrylic.

Taking the 6 Inch Diamond Mascil,  I applied Art Anthology Glitter Paint. I chose to apply it before the alcohol ink was completely dry so the blue color mixes with the glitter paint. (note: I use washi tape to hold my Mascil in place before applying paint/ink).

The second page is chipboard flowers with two circles cut out as the centers. I adhered patterned paper to the back of the page and added circles to the centers where I placed my photos.  I used a circle punch to add different patterns in each "petal".

This acrylic page is in the shape of a flower on a stem.  I chose to leave most of it bare and having my photos/embellishments mirror each other.
