WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
• One large (about 5” x 7”) black and white photo
• Four different sheets of pattern paper—anything goes!
• One sheet of white colored cardstock (this is your background)
• One sheet of light colored cardstock
• Three short pieces of ribbon— mix it up with different colors and styles!
• One circle accent
• One silk flower accent
• One medium sized brad
• Acid-free glue stick or adhesive
• One bottle of acrylic paint
• One foam paint brush
• One dual-tip archival journaling pen, in a fun color (for the title)
• One black journaling pen (.08 point )
ASSEMBLY TIPS:
I call this layout design freestyle color-blocking and it’s easy. Start by cutting one of your pattern papers into a big wide strip or square and adhere it to your background anywhere you want. Now cut another pattern paper into another square or strip and place it. Next, fill in the spaces that are left over—leave small margins in between blocks of paper and be sure to cut and include blocks of cardstock for your title and journaling. Add your photo, ribbon, accents, and words. As a final splash of color, use a foam brush to add paint to the sides of photo and edges of the page.
