Deb's 'Make It Your Own' LO

 

Have you felt a bit over-whelmed with a page that has already got a lot on it?

Deb has some great ideas how you can maximise your own impact......

Even though pages like this one pretty much have it all except your photo, I still like to add a few little bits to make it my own.


So first I mark where my photo will go......


and because some leaves and the butterfly were "in the way" I have cut around the overlapping parts with a craft knife.




I then start to add some extra bits to the background.......
Using a stamp and some distress paint I have done some random bricks on the background and also rubbed on some distress stain to the background (very randomly) and also used a mist to add colour to some of the leaves.




I then pop my photo back on the page attaching it only in the middle (leaving all the edges unstuck) and start to add bits and pieces under the photo.





and a bit more colour (the butterfly got a dabbing with some distress stain)


and some splatters with some mist...


add some extra flowers and some word stickers and a title......


Distress the edge and it is now your "own" creation.


Distress stains......Tattered rose, weathered wood, vintage photo.
Distress paint.......Frayed burlap.
Tattered angels glimmermist.....English Ivy.
Lace.
Flowers.
Alphas.
