Wallpaper Pocket above
Pages from yesterday. Remember this is a gift journal and I'm just to put a little decoration and inspiration on the pages.
Tuscany is not the theme, however, it will be the color pallet and underlying element. At least that is what I'm trying to do.
The photo to the left is just to show you how I cheat a little. You can too.
I used a piece of wallpaper border and traced the scroll onto vellum. Cut it out and use it as a patter to paint on the page. I'm doing several pages with the scroll but moving it around in different positions and using different colors.
I think it is looking fab so far.
More later,
Sharon
Thanks for the tip about making a pattern.
ReplyDeleteNow some questions... How many pages will the finished book have? Do you remove pages when you glue some together? I seem to recall that you didn't on the last book. I'm always concerned that I'll have a bulky mess if I don't remove pages.
Whatever you do, it looks great and I'm sure the intended recipient will be thrilled.
It does look fab! Lucky recipient
ReplyDeleteYES! It looks wonderful! And thanks for the pattern tip.I am always comming up with cool shortcuts now I must remember to pass them on.I assume that everyone else does the same until I see the same idea in a magazine and someone gets money for sending it in.Duh!
