Decorating my Travel Album using Perfect Paints!
Hello Everyone!
We all love traveling, and today, I’m excited to share the creative process behind the cover of my travel album. The place I visited is a beautiful town, adorned with lush hills and cascading waterfalls. To capture its essence, I chose a palette of greens, yellows, and blues. I wanted to ensure that my album cover would reflect the vibrant and serene vibe of this enchanting location.
I started by selecting a chipboard from Scrapaholics' “Fun in the Sun” collection for the album cover. To bring it to life, I painted it with a mix of Perfect Paints peacock blue and halo acrylics.To add more texture, I applied glided azure polishing plaster over the painted chipboard. One of the highlights of my kit was a glue applicator. Inspired by Cheryl’s brilliant idea, I used it to write with white acrylics over the chipboard, creating a beautiful calligraphy effect. This made the cover even more special.
Next, I picked up some flower and vine chipboards. I painted them with bright gold acrylics to make them pop against the background.
Since the town had numerous moss-covered stone walls, I wanted to replicate that texture on my album cover. I used shimmering sage polishing plaster to stencil a wall pattern, adding an earthy, authentic touch to the design.
With all my embellishments ready, I began layering them on the cover. I alternated the three vivid colors – green, yellow, and blue – to ensure each element stood out. Additionally, I incorporated ephemera and laser-cut elements from 49&Market “Nature Study” collection, which perfectly complemented the theme.
Finally, the cover of my album is complete, and it vividly captures the spirit of the town I visited. Every time I look at it, I feel an overwhelming urge to revisit that magical place. Thank you so much for joining me on this creative journey. I hope it inspires you to create your own travel album that reflects the beauty and essence of the places you’ve explored.
