We’re loving seeing all the innovation in these projects. Thanks to everyone who took up the challenge and made their own patterned papers.
Lady Grace Elefano created these great patterns using a variety of textured stamps and different coloured ink pads.
Leeann Pearce says that she wanted to do something bright and fun to go with her favourite photo of the girls. It sure is! She writes: Here’s how I made mine – I drew a couple of clouds on cardstock and cut them out and used them as a template and trace around them all over the background. I then outlined them all with a black gel pen. Once finish I coloured them in with paint and also a white gel pen. Then I hand cut a banner out of scrappy paper and use it as a mask, using glimmer mist. Once the glimmer mist dried I used machine stitching to outline the banner. Then just grab all you scrappy supplies and have fun finishing your page off!
Anthea Petersen sent us this – that photo can’t fail to make you clucky! She writes:
I have put watered down paint on the background cardstock and then stamped with paint over the top using some corrugated cardboard. I then sprinkled on some White Embossing Powder and heat set it.
Under the photo I have used a grid stamp on some cardstock and then used a resist technique where I used a script stamp and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I then sprayed over the top with a couple of different shades of Glimmer Mist and wiped the excess off the Embossed design. I jazzed it all up with some hand cut designs from Webster’s Pages.
Thanks to Heidi Barclay who has played along again this week too – we love the drama of this page. Heidi writes:
I have used black cardstock, and then using a corrugated cardboard like honeycomb pattern, I have used black paint to stamp this onto the white cardstock, secondly I have used Girls Paperie stamps to create the embellishments for the page. I used the blank pages from Basic Grey to stamp the images onto to using Graphite Black Brilliance Ink.
Kim Price shares this beautiful layout. She writes: I created the blue background using ModPodge and torn up tissue wrapping paper. I then layered this with gesso and loads of paint in shades of blue and green paint. I loved how the tissue paper crinkled to form texture. When dry, I used a brick patterned stamp to create a base for my photo and layered embellishments on top.
Livia Andrade created this evocative layout. She writes: I used an old cardboard, using glimmer mist on a paper with hearts cut out, like a mask. Then I used more of a mask with Tim Holtz distress ink stamp and then applied distress ink vintage at the edges.
There’s a fabulous textured simplicity to this page from Sharmaine Kruijver. She writes: I love numbers and really wanted a pattern paper with numbers on it for this page, about our youngest turning 6. So I used white photo copy paper and stamped Numbers stamps with Broken China Tim Holtz distress ink. Perfect! And to make the lettering, I used Jillibean Soup corrugated lettering as a template and cut the letters from a page from an old atlas.
