Gothic-Tattooed Halloween Album

Sandi Pirrelli created this scary, technique-filled album using lots of Prima products...starting with a chipboard album as a base. The chipboard is easy to color and is perfect to be "grunged" up. (Read more about Sandi below.)

There are a TON of fun techniques used! See if you can spot all of them. 

Throughout the album Sandi used a lot of temporary tattoos and applied them to paper instead of skin. (Now how creative is that? Tip: For best results do not get them too wet.) She also used Prima's felt Voila to add lots of rich texture to the design.

On these very artsy pages we find a FABULOUS idea. Sandi created a "spider web" right on the page! Use thread to create the web so the photos or tags can slide in and out easily.

Sandi layered lots of flowers and our Say It In Studs for a sparkly effect.

By inserting a red Build-A-Book page Sandi adds an EERIE touch to her book! Lots of E-Line gems add perfect finishing touches.

Sandi then added her own personal touches to finish off her one-of-a-kind, Gothic-gorgeous, Halloween Album all ready for spooky pictures to be added!
