Pocket mini album with paint as background

This is my mini album I a couple of days ago. It is inspired by I think annasari on YouTube. This is big envelops I have folded in two and the part you close the envelope I have left open and used it as pockets. Then instead of using cardstock as background I used paint. I used light brown, gold, silver, and a dark pink, which I made by mixing red and white. Then I put patterned paper and, used stamps, brads, ribbon, and journaling paper from a journaling book I have. And for the pockets I put in tags and embellished it with flowers. I love prima flowers. I put it together by using black rope. I learned this technique from annasari on YouTube. I love this information channel, most of the techniques I use and try most often I have learnt from different talented people by watching their YouTube videos.

mint green mini album

This is one of my mini albums in mint green, which is one of my favourite colours, it is a calming and fresh colour both nice wearing, and decorating with. Therefore I made two mini albums with this colour but with 2 different themes. This one is a more vintage album with new elements and techniques in which I have not tried before. These albums have been ready some time ago however; I was waiting for my order from simonsaystamp, which feels like the shipping has been too long to wait for. I had same stamps and inks I wanted to use in these albums.

Mint green mini album

Front cover is simple with a cute butterfly and rub-on corners and green and gold ribbons. I put some prima essentials 5 vintage flowers on with a pearl in the middle. The smallest flower i sprayed with tattered andel glimmer mist vanilla breeze. It gives it a nice shimmery effect but the green color is still noticable. Page 1-2 with another shade of the green colour. In it, i put some small tags in postcards shapes, postage and tags with words, friends and favourite. I put pearls on and the words precious memories are in distress powder by tim holtz peeled paint. Page 3-4 with an antique page from the book (1901) I bought from the second hand store. I added a stamp, remember, and but a page from a journaling notebook by prima. I love how it turned out ­. Page 5-6 I kept basic with some prima flowers and brad, and button and a place to fold up for putting pics and journaling on. Page 7 I did a mini album pocket using Marion’s technique with a sticker on the front and distressed edges, in it I have some tags and a little heart charm saying made with love. Also 2 nice old-looking buttons. Page 8 another pocket by Marion which I love how it turned out. On the back of it is a picture I used from the old reading book from 1901 that I bought. Love how it looks in contrast to the greenish background colour.
Then it is a transparent halvpage with damask, when you wipe your hand over it feels like felt. Next page 9 is a journaling page from a journaling book I just glued on and put some prima flowers with pearls on to make it more dimentional. Page 10 is another page torn out from the antique book from 1901. I think it is really neat and looks vintagy. Can put pictures there. Next page has a stamp which I used versa mark and pearls powder on which is in fact, old eye shadow powder pearls. I find ways to substitute pretty much, right! I got inspired by mybutterflykisses 12’s Altered Tag Tutorial.
Page 12 with patterned paper covering the half page with flourish stamp in pearls powder again in green. It looks really shiny, I love it. And half of the page is cover in beige paint similar to acrylic paint, inspired by annasari. The 13 page is also painted in beige with a photo from the old antique book. Between pages 12-13 I have a transparent page with some flourish and butterfly rub-ons. The page is a simple overhead-sheet. I love to find ideas to replace techniques with :).
