Faux Leather Medieval Album



Hi everyone, I would like to share this mini album that I finished some time ago, its medieval themed because I'm fascinated with that time and style. I  began by creating the paper to make it look like leather, I used a heavy cardstock and use coffee liquid to stain it then I did some distress technique so it would look like wrinkled leather or old leather, some of the materials I use was Tim Holtz distress inks, coffee (instant powder in water) after many many layers I use mat medium paste to make it playable, the rest is self explanatory, I accented the pages with some medieval ephemera, so hope you guys enjoy this photos and if you want see more I a video on youtube, the link is below, cheers





I use fabric for outside of of the spine.
