"Willoughby" meets "Stamping With Water" Background

As I promised...I'd like to show you a sample of one of the new TAC paper collections...they are gorgeous and inexpensive... $6.95 a set! This one is "Willoughby" paper collectionV844. I used one of the backgrounds I made using my "Stamping with Water" tutorial posted below. I thought it went well with the designs on Willoughby. You can always click on pictures for a larger view. TIP: I made white dots with white pen. To make the white dots look less stark (on the scallop circle), I went over them with yellow glaze jelly pen. You can see this in the second picture. They matched my background paper a lot better too. I used the matching Willoughby ribbons B227 ($4.95)and the new "Celebration Time" T2939 stamp set which I also thought was a great match with the Willoughby paper. TIP: I tied Scrapper's Floss to the ribbon. To curl or make floss have tendrils, wind the Scrapper's Floss around paper piercer. Here are some pictures of the Willoughby paper collection to bless ya: Any questions, email me or visit my TAC online store to see more wonderful products! Thanks and have a wonderful evening!

See Me on "Take 3"

Well, not me but my scrapbook page! Click "Take 3" which is part of TAC's Creative Corner. Take 3 is where three designers use the same photo and TAC materials and then allowed to design a project their own way. I had lots of fun using the "Hip Hop" paper collection since I was able to use at least 3 sheets on my scrapbook page layout for "IZEK." On one of the sheets I cut out the frogs and used them as embellishments! The paper is very versatile. To make the frogs look more dimensional, I took the "CLEAR" pen from the Glaze Gelly Pen set and coated the frogs with it. Gave it a really neat look. I use the Clear Glaze pens ALOT for a quick 3-D look!! In fact, I'll be posting here soon on how to make your own embellishments out of chipboard. Come back & see me! thanks again.
