Hello I have a scrap booking group that meets monthly. Some times when you are scrap booking you want to showcase several images. This page is designed to do that, by organizing the images in a serial fashion it allows you to share more than one or two images with out the page becoming overwhelming! Plus you have a nice mat to surround each image. The rose red page is a little busy but if you know me one decoration is never enough! There are two techniques that I want to tell you about. First one is spot lighting. This technique show cases an area on a stamp. I used Tres Chic background stamp and river rock paper and ink and always artichoke stampin write marker. You start by inking Tres Chic stamp with river rock ink. Then using an always artichoke stampin write marker and the brush tip color in the word or area you would like to highlight. Huff when you are done and stamp on river rock paper. Because you have used coordinating ink with the paper the always artichoke words pop! T

I have been hankering over this set I love to color the design and this set is perfect for it. Stamps-Morning soft, Print Pattern, Itty Bitty Backgrounds Ink- Elegant eggplant, mellow moss, perfect plum, Black Stazon, So Saffron Paper - Lovely lilac, Perfect Plum very vanilla Accessories- Moss Gingham Ribbon, Edge rougher, Blender pens Cut paper and begin by stamping With stazon on very vanilla card stock. Using a blender pens and your choice of colors color in flowers concentrating your deepest colors in the centers and outside edges. I use so saffron to create a background wash and lovely lilac to stamp with itty bitty backgrounds. stamp print pattern on to larger cardstock and assemble card. Don't for get the trick to saving ribbon. cut a section of ribbon only slightly larger than the surface you want to cover. cut a smaller piece and tie it off on it self,but before tightening it slip larger ribbon in and tighten. wrap around card and trim if needed. thanks for looking.
