Let's start!
First step is to draw the submarine. After that you should make 3 layers (or more): cover, middle page and back cover. Then draw the picture on the cardboard and the scrap paper and cut them. You need 9 cardboard circles of 1 3/8" diameter too. Remove the inside of 6 of them leaving a edge of 3/16". Make 3 scrap paper circles and keep the inside.
After that inked and/or painted the edges.
Before decor make a hole in all the pieces to place the ring and embellishments without problems.
Put the white cardstock pieces on the scrap paper. I've used only 4 but you can make flips, waterfalls...
Use the paints to decorate the white cardstock. You can also use stencils, stamps... And a little trick for you: cut some cardboard pieces of 2mm with the same size as white cardstock and glue them below to give volume. Play with the embellishments making layers too. I don't recommend using foamy or anything less hard than cardboard.
Now make 3 portlights shakers.
Cut a little piece of acetate that covers the paper circle and glue it below.
Glue 3 cardboard circles one on top of the other and cover the base with the inside of the scrap paper circle that you keep. Once dry add glitter, sequins... and glue the circle with acetate to close the shaker. The more circles you have the more space you have for embellishments.
Make some details with the black marker that stand out the submarine. I've used golden paint, pearls and some other embellishments to finish the decor.
When you finish all the scrap pieces glue them to the cardboard, then put the eyelets and insert them in the ring, you can also use ribbon too.
I'm so wishy-washy but you can use something like a tassel for embellishment the ring.
And that's it!
An easy peasy mini album!
I hope you liked this idea for your summer photos.
See you in the fall!
