49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera - 8x8 Album Cover

Hello,

I hope you are having a crafty day! Today's post is the cover for the album I have created using the 49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera Packs. I have continued with using the Fabscraps and Stampin' Up papers and washi tapes for my layers on the cover. 

The album base is actually from the 49 and Market Moonlit Garden 8x8 Kit, which I saved and used for this album instead. Please be sure to check out the Album I created using the goodies from the Moonlit Garden Kit and other packs.

I left the spine and back of the album plain and have used multiple strands of a red and white twine as the closure. As always, rhinestones and stickles for added bling!

Next up, I will have another album which I have created using more goodies from 49 and Market.

See you again soon!
