The Painted Rose mini album

This is the mini I created to go with "The Saloon Girl" altered cigar box. I've used a ColorBok paper line called Neutral & just a touch of the ColorBok Rosewood paper for some pops of rich red. I've also used some Ranger Embossing powders & lots of LSG sprays. I've titled this mini "The Painted Rose" as a tribute to these pioneering ladies of the evening.

Here the 2 pieces are together, the altered cigar box & mini album...I wanted to capture some of the beautiful Fall colors in these pieces so I used LSG sprays in the following colors... 
Red Hot PokerOrange
Ponderosa Pines Olive 
Screamin' Banshee Black
 Silhouette Silver
Van Dyke Sepia
The roses are all colored with the LSG sprays & are my own handmade flowers. I've had this project in mine for quite a while & I really like the way both pieces came out & how well they go together. Quite a few of my polymer clay pieces have been used on both projects as well & I really enjoyed altering all the different components & embellishments that went into each piece. A classic example that vintage can be elegant & feminine & even a little colorful!

The texture on the cover was created with craft paper(brown paper bag) & I have an older tutorial on YT Faux Leather on Chipboard where I created these actual covers. I then added the wide lace panel across the lower half of the front & back with a heavy gel medium then painted & sprayed it all to match. I think it looks a bit like tooled leather. This mini was so much fun to create & I'm so loving these Fall colors right now. Check out the YT video & take a peek inside. I've used a few images from the graphics fairy, moonlight magic free images & sweetly scrapped...all 3 have just gorgeous vintage images.
Well that's all for today but be sure to stay tuned for more. Thanks for stopping by, Till Next Time!
