You are my super hero

So thrilled to be finally sharing the final Comic book mini album which I started over a year ago. Last Christmas break allowed me to do some heavy catch up!

 

This mini album is a gift for my husband who is an absolute fan of the Marvel and DC universes. C.C. Designs released a collection of 6 stamp sets in 2023 with heroes and villains and that was the starting point for this album. I have created one page for each of the 20 characters featured throughout the 6 stamp sets.

 


I had a blast designing a background or scene for each character that would define their world or identity. I just loved researching the inspiration, search through my stash for the best sets and supplies and what a great way to finally use that incredible collection of stencils of mine. LOL!

To create the album, I stamped each character on separate pages using the masking technique to create one-layer designs. I then glued the pages back to back with Ranger Distress Collage medium. I also protected the individual pages by applying a thin layer of Ranger Distress glaze prior to the assembly. For the outer covers, I used laminating pouches from Fellowes and ran the pages through a laminator. However, I laminated just one side. In order to achieve that, I laminated the cover page with unadhered paper copy at the back which I could easily remove after heated. I punched the holes with the We R memory keepers Crop-A Dile Multi-Punch and used two 3-ring binders from Zibuline to assemble the pages into the album.
