* Vera Lane Studio Accordion Booklet


Hello!

After a beautiful, albeit a humid week of weather we've just had the most dismal, dull and rainy weekend. It's just as well as I've been in my craft room most of the weekend making my project for today's DT post at Vera Lane Studio.

I decided that I needed to use some of the beautiful pre-coloured collage sheet images that Janet has here in the Etsy shop. 

I settled on making an accordion booklet.

 

I spent most of Friday evening fussy cutting the images. Then on Saturday I made the backgrounds and place the images and sentiments in position. That left Sunday to construct the booklet and make the 'How to' video from the still photos I took as I worked each stage.

The booklet, made out of kraft card, measures 9 cm x 9 cm x 2 cm.
The background papers are made from shaving foam and Distress Oxide re-inkers (Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade and Twisted Citron) through stencils. This gives a lovely marbled pattern. Each background measures 8.5 x 8.5 cm.  In all there are 16 pages and a cover with a simple twine closure. 
The video below explains the step by step process.



Here are the pages:




















And the whole book spread out:



I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane.
It's such a friendly, fun place to be!

  

Thanks for stopping by today.
xoxo
