December Daily 2011 Album Cover

I'm excited to be posting again... I jumped on the Ali Edward's bandwagon and I'm attempting yet another December Daily. I say this because I've been unsuccessful in completing an album as of yet.  I'm determined to get it finished this time around. Please wish me luck...

This is my album cover, spine and inside cover.  I loved how Ali's cover turned out so I made my cover similar but with a pop of color. This was an interesting journey for me because I am a simple scrapper and I hardly ever use techniques.   I painted a layer of Claudine Hellmuth Studio Gesso and then gave it a couple of layers of the semi-gloss acrylic paint.  I had to be extremely patient and my friends know I have none. This is big peoples...

When it came time to emboss, I visited Damaris.  She was my cheerleader and guide in getting it straight and done correctly...We laughed alot because I kept saying " I'm scared "

The inside cover was misted with Mr. Huey exclusive from Studio Calico's December Daily kit by Ali Edward's. 

Thanks for stoping by. Days 1 through 4 to follow.  The picture taking took longer than actually creating the layouts. LOL
