New Photo Book Project Part 1.

Hi there Blogging Buddies :o)
Well I have been busy today getting to grips with a new book project, all the dimensions I will post tomorrow and also a run through of how I made the book. 
I thought as I have not blogged a project lately I would post a few pics of where I am up to at the moment, as always Please comment, I welcome any honest critique  :o)
 I have enjoyed the prosess of stamping and colouring the papers and also trying a new technique for me, using alcohol inks in water and then dipping the paper in and then letting them air dry ... Then I ironed them flat .. Hope you like :o) 

Prepare the sleeves by colouring them


Stamp the sleeves with whatever design takes your fancy.


Water and alcohol ink dipped inner sleeves, air dry to preserve the colour.
 Then iron flat





Beautiful random colour design.

Matt the inner sleeves for Photos.
 Part 2 will follow very soon.

    Looks great. I love the colour combos.
    Thank you so much for your comment on my blog re the tag. The background is a technique from the Andy Skinner book of ruination online workshop. Sorry I can not give more away but it's not my technique to pass on. If that makes sense? The course is well worth it though. Hope this helps and you had a good b'day. Mark.

    Morning Mark, Ohhhhhh lovely, love everything here, the colours and stamping are gorgeous.
    I had a go, at my latest Craft Show visit, with alcohol inks and water (I have them but never tried them) and what lovely combinations you can achieve, although you really have no control over the finished result ha ha (the only downside for me), but I loved incorporating a spatter of metallic in them. I have just finished my Daughter's 46th birthday card, she absolutely loved it, and now I am going to concentrate on some stamping and colouring, haven't done any for ages.
    Can't wait to see your Part 2.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
