Hi! I'm sharing a rocket mini album that I put together using the super cool Studio Light Hokulea Base Kit for Clique International today. The name of this bright and quirky kit means "Star of Gladness" after a very special and blessed Hawaiian Voyager outrigger canoe used to share the traditional art of Polynesian navigation techniques using only the sea and sky to navigate on a voyage. The celestial, galactic, astrological, and oceanic vibes throughout this kit definitely have me feeling glad!
The patterned papers from the Dutch company Studio Light feature artwork by Art by Marlene, that is all about fantasy and imagination. I'm ready to blast off into space with these whimsical robots and mermaids! This one-of-a-kind base kit is sure to jump start your creativity.
The foundation of this album is built using a P13 Rocket Mini Album. This light-weight chipboard soaks up color quickly. I used Sharpie markers to color the front cover. Then, I added fussy cuts, die-cuts, enamel dots, glow-in-the-dark stars, silver cardstock, and white paint to embellish the cover.
I designed each pair of pages in a similar fashion, first by using patterned paper to cover the page, and then embellishing with fussy cuts, die-cuts, enamel dots, glow-in-the-dark stars, heart clips, and doodles. I created photo mats from cardstock that I can place pictures in at a later date.
Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide Ink was the perfect dark blue to soften the edges of each album page. I applied the ink using a brush so I could easily feather in and blend the color for a smooth finish.
Can we talk about how cute the robots and mermaids are?! Be still my whimsical heart!
I also embellished the back cover of this album, because I just couldn't stop myself.
This album measures approximately 6x8 inches, and even after embellishing these rocket-shaped pages, I have more than half the kit left. I will definitely be sharing more projects with this kit soon, so please come back and visit.
