Inking white stickers is
a great way to add create fun embellishments
for your page and add dimension. In this layout
I have used Doodlebug's gorgeous flower stickers
to demonstrate this effect. Any pale coloured
embellishments will work as long as they do
not absorb too much ink.
|
|
Use the Doodlebug Bon Bon
Sweet Stripes paper as the background, making
sure the stripes are horizontal.
|
|
Cut a piece of Rhonna Farrer
paper measuring 20.5cm by 29cm. Adhere to the
background approximately 1.5cm from the right
edge.
|
|
Cut a piece of light brown
cardstock the same width as your photos and
approximately 4.5cm tall. Add your journaling
to this piece to make your journaling block.
|
|
Mat two photos and your journaling
block with your middle shade of brown cardstock.
Lightly ink the edges of each with brown ink.
Adhere them one above the other centred on your
Rhonna Farrer paper, as shown in the layout
above.
|
|
Select the white flower stickers
you are going to use. Ink the edges with brown
ink. While the ink is still wet, smudge it across
the flower. Because the sticker is not very
absorbent, your flower will just be lightly
stained and will not appear so flat. If you
wish to make the flowers darker, simply add
more ink. Of course, you can use any colour
ink you like...brown just happened to suit my
page best.
|
|
Once you have coloured your
flowers, arrange them down the right side of
your page so that they overlap with your photos
and journaling. Use the circle stickers to add
the centres to your flowers. Use leftover circles
and leaves to embellish around the flowers.
Play around with your arrangement, and when
you are happy with it, adhere them to your page. |
|
Finally, cut your title from
dark brown cardstock. Adhere sideways along
the left side of your page, as shown in the
layout above. If you wish, you can decorate
your letters with any leftover stickers.
