No patern paper... No problem

I have received this kit at the Close To My Heart convention in Dallas last July. This was my chance to try some new products and techniques. For this layout we did not use any Background and Texture paper ( B&T) , we made our own.

This is a good technique to use when you can't find the right colour of B&T paper for your layout. In this case we used the "Love Blooms" stamp set to create my own B&T paper. I used a piece of "Whisper" card stock and randomly stamp the small flower image using "Slate" ink.

A few hints using this technique:

-Stamp your image creating a visual triangles

-Use part of the image on the side of your paper ( not full image)

- Turn the image (specially on a big piece of paper)

- Start with the large image first ( if you are using different image sizes)

- Know when to stop.

On other product I love is the "Irresistibles Houndstooth Alphabet". These letters are great and so versatile.

Just ink them with the colour of your choice to have the perfect match with your cardstock or embellishments. With this you can complete your layout in no time.
