This is a bit of work in progress as I have just done the covers but I wanted to show it anyway as it is an example of one of the things you can do with my freebies. For the front I used this week's freebie. The back will be coming your way next week....

First of all I printed the images onto tissue paper. The best way to do this is to take a piece of transparency film or acetate (A4 or 8.5/11"). Stick your tissue paper on to it with removable tape cut carefully to size if needed and run it through your printer on its best setting.
I then glued the printed tissue onto chipboard with Mod Podge. I had previously painted the chipboard with titan buff acrylic paint and inked with vintage photo distress. I love how the slight crinkling of the tissue adds a sort of crackle effect. I then inked the front cover further and added some stamping, shading and a butterfly. For the back I just inked a bit more round the edges, I may add more to it later.

So shabbily, vintagely, beautiful, Astrid. I love the crinkled effect of the tissue and the soft muted colour tones.
Wow, amazing Astrid, I love this fabulous cover!!
It is totally awesome my friend.
Hi Astrid, how exquisite these are, would never have thought of printing on tissue paper, thanks so much for sharing the tip. Have a lovely evening. xx
This is lovely! I never would have thought to print on tissue paper. Would it work to use cardstock instead of acetate? My printer won't feed acetate.
Must try this Astrid, never printed on tissue paper. Adore the appearance, and I cannot wait to see your finished mini book....
