Soar Album

Hi everyone, I am participating in an ATC swap on Gingersnap Creations with the theme of Soar.  I don't want to share my ATCs until they have been sent out to whomever gets them but I did want to share the album I made to hold the ATCs that I am lucky enough to get in this swap!!!  I had seen a Hero Arts video on bookbinding using the Japanese stab technique.  So I thought I would give it a try.  Here is the result...

For the cover, I used a Ranger Dauber and then a piece of cardstock from Tim Holtz's Lost and Found paper pack.  I distressed it, after using his Alteration edge die, with Vintage Photo distress ink topped with a Zia stamp butterfly that I distress embossed with Terra Cotta distress embossing powder!  The word soar is from Tim's Sizzlet alphabet.  For the bookbinding, I used ribbon.  I used acetate envelopes inside to hold the ATCs I get.  I covered the back cover and inside of the covers with patterned cardstock.  I can't wait to see the ATCs I receive!!  It's kind of like Christmas in July!!!
