Be sure to give this graphic plenty of time to load -- it is a slideshow
that shows all the pages in the acrylic wedding album that I did recently. Some things
to keep in mind when working with acrylic albums are:
- Be sure to use Stayz-on ink. No other ink will stick to the pages.
- Use lots of flowers and ribbons. Because the pages show through the other layers,
this allows you to build lots of layers of gorgeous embellishments that appear to lay on top
of each other. Sheer ribbons enhance the simple beauty of these books.
- Try new things! You don't have to cover the entire page of this album with cardstock or
patterned paper. Let the layers show through.
- Add plenty of bling. The shinier the embellishments, the more they enhance the pages of
these adorable albums. On some of the pages, I used clear stickers which added to the page without
preventing you from seeing the next page. On the page with the white beads all around, I used
Crystal Lacquer as an adhesive since it is perfectly clear
and then poured the beads over it. Once the beads were set, I simply
shook the loose ones off. By laying the acrylic page over a design, you could actually "draw" a design
using the Crystal Lacquer and then sprinkle beads or glitter over it. Voila! Perfectly drawn design!
