  #scrapbooktechniques202305 Weekly challenge

• Papers –
  • I used one double sided patterned paper from Hey Handsome for the splashes of color in the top and bottom border
  • One 12×12 sheet of Harbour Cardstock
  • One 12×12 sheet of orange shimmer cardstock
• Ideas –
  • All from this challenge #scrapbooktechniques202305
• Techniques –
  • With a very light busy background, I choose dark cardstocks to emphasize my black & white challenge options.
• Colors –
  • I used the Close To My Heart colors of Harbour & Paprika
• Tools –
  • To create my borders on the top and bottom, I used the zip strips off of the 12×12 Hey Handsome paper pack and then added a black rick rack border to the bottom.
• Coloring Tools –
  • Just a little black on my tag containing my logo (printed out on clear sticker paper) was about all the inking I did on this page
• Embellishments – 
  • I used several pieces of chipboard to add a few embellishments. These were all from my orange small embellishment stash.
