Victorian Sampler 

By Sue Smyth 

With so many images to choose from in the mini album kit 

 and I wanted to use them all one the one project.

So I decided to alter a frame and do 

a sampler, layering and adding dimension 

to each panel.

Alter the butterfly trinket, swipe white gesso over top.

Add dimensional magic to the centre and sprinkle 

with micro beads.

And yes I fixed that pearl strip above that has moved

I like to add a little extra glue to these strips so 

they stay put more.

To colour a small paper rose, take a small stiff 

bristle brush and dab into a pink/red stamp pad.

The gently stipple the brush to the centre of the 

rose. 

Old dry stamp pads work the best to give just a hint of colour.

You may have seen this before, I love to add a dimensional

frame with small pearl strips.

Just snip them into sections of 2 or one pearl and 

adhere along the edge with a clear setting glue.

Use a pointed tool to nudge the pearls into place.

Ink each panel and adhere to light weight cardstock

to add strength.

Play with the arrangement of your panels until you are happy

then adhere them down. I have

then altered an old plastic frame for them all to sit in, 

this will make a lovely gift for someone this year.
