Hooray! It's September, and that means I am working on a season minibook again. During the summer I shared my progress about once a week and I am hoping to do the same again for fall. This book was a fun one to put together. I chose a rich color palette and somehow that inspired me to do something different with my album this season. I want to make the whole thing feel fancier and am going to be attempting this by adding lots of texture, layers and different techniques.
At least that is the plan.
Above are the first three pages.
getting started with the autumn minibook from elise blaha on Vimeo.
I filmed a video to talk about them in more detail and to also share two tutorials - one for creating the masked shape that you see on the first page and one for creating a small kraft envelope like mine. **PS. just rewatched the video and saw that the audio was out of sync for a few parts. sorry about that. working on finding that bug and fixing it for the next videos.**
I love this project and am so looking forward to seeing where this book will go.
Do you want to save your fall season in the same way? Watch the book trailer here and pick up a copper or white stamped mixed paper book.
