"Leaves of Time" A Memory
Album
Stamp Artist - Pam Fraser
Directions: 1) Paint the white mulberry
paper with Radiant Pearls. This is very absorbent paper, so it
is best to paint one leaf at a time. Be sure to use shading and
highlighting to achieve a 3-D look. Keep layering and blending
the colors until you are pleased with the results. Do not use
water for blending or softening of color.
2) Emboss the leaves with Amazing Glaze. Ink with clear embossing
ink for coats 2-4 (I did a total of 4 coats of Amazing Glaze).
You don't have to emboss,
but I like the way the colors deepen and pop out and the way
the leaves almost look like they are under glass.
HINT: If you will heat from the middle and work your way
to the edges when you emboss, you will have less buckling.
3) Cut a frame from the red cardstock for the leaves and mount
onto front of leaves with double stick tape.
4) On a small rectangle of red cardstock, stamp "Memories"
in gold ink and emboss.

kit directions for covering photo album cover with black mulberry
paper and inside of panels with decorative gold paper. I ran

cause the mulberry paper to wrinkle some as I applied it to the
album panels, but I liked the effect. Use gold ribbon for binding.
6) Mount leaf picture and "Memories" rectangle to album
front with double stick tape.

2 mat boards cut 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"

Cover the mat boards, by
gluing the mat board onto the back of the decorative papers.
Miter the corners and fold over and glue the edges. Make sure
to pull tightly. Glue the end papers on the inside of the two
covers. Cover with wax paper and put under a heavy weight to
dry.
Group the papers in twos. Fold each group of two in half. You
know have 5 signatures measuring 5 1/2" X 4:. Stack your
five signatures together on top of each . Hold the pages together
and with a pen make 3 evenly spaced marks by drawing strait across
from one cover to the next. Use one of the marked signatures
to mark the front and back covers the same spacing, but 1/8"
in. Fold a wash cloth and put one of your covers on it (still
closed). Poke holes where the marks are. Do the same for the
other cover. Take one of the signatures (groups of white pages)
and open it up putting the crease point facing up over the wash
cloth. Poke holes on all of the marks. Do this for all five signatures.
Sew the book together using the chain stitch. Start with one
signature and one cover and your needle. Go out the bottom hole
of the signature (starting from the inside) then in the bottom
hole of the cover and back into the bottom hole of the signature.
Go up and out the next hole of the first signature in the hole
of the cover and back in the 2nd hole of the signature. Continue
doing this until you get to the top hole. At the top hole come
out of the signature into the cover, but instead of going back
into the first signature add another signature and go into the
top hole of it. Go down on hole of that signature and come out
stitch under the stitch formed by the first signature and cover
and go back in the hole on the 3rd signature you had just gone
out. Go out the next hole of that signature and make the same
stitch as before. Continue this all the way down the signature.
Add all of the rest of the signatures the same way. Then add
the back cover the same way as the front. When you get to the
last stitch finish it off, by tying a knot inside the signature
and cutting your thread off, leaving a 1/2" tail.
Use the gold leafing pen to edge the label. Stick it to the front
cover.
Completely cover the front and sides of domino with Crimson ink.
Heat set. Rub a little ivy ink on the bottom of the domino and
heat set. Stamp the flower (Second
Star on the Right) on the domino. Heat
set. Edge with the gold leafing pen and glue on the cover.
First the dominos were decorated.
The roses stamp (Four Brushed Roses, K-2291 from PSX, available
through A Country Welcome) was stamped onto tissue paper using
a Graphite Black Brilliance ink pad. The other side of the tissue
paper was colored using Marvy LePlume II markers. The tissue
was cut up to separate the roses. Future Floor Finish (FFF) was
spread across the top of four dominos and one rose tissue paper
was spread on each domino with the stamped image up. FFF was
then applied to the top of the tissue and allowed to dry. Two
more layers of FFF were applied and allowed to dry. The sides
of the dominos were painted with two coats of Emerald Green Lumiere.
