25 Days of December 2013 Album

Well it's been almost a week since my last post. I was going to post the photos of my SN@AP Simple Stories album in the beginning of the week. That did not happened because, I started painting my album with Distress Paint  by Tim Holtz in the brushed pewter color and  that was to silvery. I was not happy with the color so, I went with this peeled paint by Tim Holtz. I applied three coats and used my Making Memories sand block to distress the album a bit. I used some We R Memory Keepers Washi Tape-Onyx and some Red Ribbon (name unknown from stash) to dress the album up a bit. 

The chipboard frame is from Scenic Route Paper Co. (Rockland Let it Snow) so it the pattern paper behind it. I used my Making Memories sand block to distress the frame and brushed some Tim Holtz Distress Ink Fired Brick to the edges. I love chipboard but I can't never find it in the colors, shapes, letters, numbers etc. that I want so, I make my own. The number 25 is Quickutz Blossom Grand numbers that I layered 6 times, embossed them white, added Tim Holtz Distress Ink Fire Brick and heated, I then sprayed Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist in perfect pearl and heated. The word DAYS is Quickutz Blossom Mini cut out from Heidi Swapp Color Magic paper, that I layered 6 times, added Tim Holtz Distress Ink Fire Brick and heated, I then sprayed Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist in heirloom gold and heated. I did the same for the word OF but added Diamond Stickles, this matches with the ribbon. The word December is Quickutz Diesel that I layered only 4 times, embossed them white, I then sprayed Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist in perfect pearl and heated. Finally the 2013 is Quickutz Blossom Mini numbers that I layered only 4 times, embossed them white and sprayed Heidi Swapp Color Shine Sweet Cherry and heated.

Last but not least I sprayed Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist in perfect pearl to the red part of the album to make it shimmery.
