Started with text weight papers in the colors of the rainbow, cut into strips and embossed them with various Cuttlebug embossing folders. Highlighted the raised areas with similar color dye ink pens .
Cut two large tags out of cardboard, slightly larger than the size of the tag pages that will be added once they've all been received. Found a marvelous colored vintage image to go on the front cover. Printed out the title and cut into squares, glued onto the cover. Used Zutter Bind-it-All to punch out the holes to eventually put the book together.
For the inside cover, decided to try Tim Holtz's Alcohol Ink Air Splatter technique. See his video demo here. Love the bright vibrant colors, perfect for this book.
Cut the paper into large tag shapes slightly smaller than the cardboard. Stamped swirls using black Archival ink.
