Each page has a spacer with allows room in between pages to add dimensional \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/embellishments\"\u003eembellishments\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I began by making color photo copies of vintage French paper. I then cut down the pages to fit the board book and glued them on with collage pauge. Once each page had dried I painted over the pages again with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/adhesives-primers-and-mediums\"\u003eCollage Pauge\u003c\/a\u003e to help protect and seal the paper. To decorate the front of the book I first painted a rectangular shape on the center of the cover with white acrylic \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/paints\"\u003epaint\u003c\/a\u003e. When the paint had dried I stamped the Britannia image using brown ink onto the center of the painted white area. I then painted around the edge of the stamped image with white crackle paint.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e I glued three starfish \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/embellishments\"\u003eembellishments \u003c\/a\u003eto the bottom left corner of the stamped image using Judikins DG3 art gel as the adhesive. For the inside pages I decided to keep it very simple (sometimes less is more). I had some of my favorite summer, beach-themed photographs printed in a sepia tone to compliment the vintage style of the papers. I cut down each photograph to 4”x4” and matted them onto black cardstock that was cut down to 4 ½” x 4 ½”. I glued all the pictures into the book and then added some very simple white embellishments by Melissa Frances.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Free Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452472877207,"sku":"PROJ-0199","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/5546\/3319\/files\/PROJ-0199__77296.1558392890.1280.1280.jpg?v=1746791618","url":"https:\/\/stampington.live\/products\/free-how-to-project-summer-memories-board-book-project","provider":"Stampington \u0026 Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
