Hi everyone :-)
Made another Botanical Tea photo album and this was a challenge from my friend Linda at Livartnow. She made the base for this envelope album and we where going to use Botanical tea from Graphic 45 in the album. She also told me that i could add what I liked to it and so I did lol. Added a lot more envelopes and ended up making the cover all over again... The album became to fat for the 3 inch spine so I made it 4 inch wide lol. Had so fun playing with different sizes of envelopes and could not stop adding more and more and more haha
This is one of the most fun albums I have made and thank you for the challenge Linda :-)
All is distressed with Tim Holtz distress tool, White paint dabber and pan pastel.
Lot of photos in this blog post so find a good cup of tea and enjoy :-)
