August SOTM: 12x12 Layout
Helpful Hints
To create the
techniques featured in this artwork, follow the helpful hints outlined
below. Then use the pattern (Reflections: Triple Play—Over the Top™)
found on page 103 of our Reflections® how-to publication for inspiration.
- To create the damask pattern found on the lower two-thirds of the
page, stamp the large flourish with Twilight ink. Then stamp it again
with clear embossing powder directly on top of the Twilight images. Heat
set each image.
- To add a title, switch out one of the photos and layer with mats to add depth and interest.
- To stamp the two-toned title and stamped accents, ink the bracket
stamp in second-generation Twilight and then immediately roll the stamp
edges in first generation Twilight ink.
- Add visual interest by making a paper ruffle above and below the
photos by randomly folding a thin strip of paper every inch or so. To
add the paper ribbon across a 12" base page, use a few thin strips and
attach them end-to-end.
- Embellish with stamped accents, paper accents, and accessories, adding dimension with 3-D foam tape as desired.
