Accordian Folder Album

This is a little present I made for my nephew for his 2nd birthday. I hope he likes it!

I doodled the white outline of the word with the Sakura Glaze pen (the outline actually pops up slightly, giving you the effect of embossing), then used colour pencils to add touches of colour. The faint stars at the top are done using masking with chalk ink. All stretched out - side ASide BThe star is manually cut out from cardstock and inked around the edges for better depth. I then adhered it with 3D glue dots to make it pop. The embossed word is actually done using metallic ink which the photo does not seem to show to its true effect (click on photo to get clearer view).

You can get the Accordian Folder from Scrap & Crop - you can find in under the Mini Albums section ;) Very recommended for days when you want to churn out something but lack lots of time to do stuff from scratch.
