Karen Burniston June Designer Challenge

Karen Burniston's Designer Challenge for June is photo Accordions, this was certainly challenging for me as my son isn't too keen on having his picture taken.  Lucky for me I caught him on a good day.  You'll want to check out the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog on Wednesday to see all of Karen Burniston's Design Team projects and one by Karen herself.  
For the sentiment, I used Accordion Katie Label with the stitching feature.  I used several Stampin' Write Markers to color in the stamp, huffed on it and then stamped on the label.  The sunglasses from Make Note rotary stamp matched perfectly.  I used Puff Paint on the center flower, it really adds nice texture.

I combined the Oval and Katie Accordions to make this beach album.  I copied the idea of making a cover page from Karen Aicken.  I cut an Accordion Katie Label then cut the center out and added the yellow card stock on the front, I used the opening for my photo and just rounded the corners to match the shape.

I used the new Oval Clouds Frame Edges on two panels, on the other two panels I used a white gel pen to trace in the stitching.

I found some coral in my stash so I cut several pieces to fit under the flowers....they reminded me of a starfish.

Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope you've enjoyed my photo Accordion, please come back tomorrow to view my second photo accordion.

Happy Stamping,
Raquel
