Baby "P" Scrapbook With Handmade backgrounds

Hi Folks,

     I am here today with a very special post. One of my close friends  Hetal (I have known her for almost 16.5 years now), wanted to learn distress ink techniques for a long time. Initially we had thought we would make cards with the background we create, but her nephew turns "6 months" this month and so we decided to make 5" by 7" scrapbook instead of cards with all the distress ink techniques we do. 

     Her nephew's name starts from "P" and is a Leo. So we have incorporated a lot of these elements in the scrapbook. Also the little boy loves multi-colours and as he is a small kid, we decided to use different colours through the scrapbook and not just the usual shades of blues & purples that are conventionally used for boys scrapbook. Along with distress ink techniques, we also used artistry inks (Indian brand), stencil techniques, stamping, spray paints & gelatos for some of the pages in the scrapbook. Hetal picked up distress ink techniques very quickly and I am so proud of her 1st time efforts distressing & making this album. So here is presenting the scrapbook that the 2 of us built together. I have mentioned various techniques & main supplies we have used for each of pages below the images along with those used for the cover page. 270 gsm Iris Paper was used to create all Backgrounds. There is also a small video at the end to show you all the interactive elements that we had incorporated in the album.
