Asked about tips working with pattern paper , my advice is to choose a few papers from the same paper manufacturer, they've done all the design work in coordinating everything together. For example, My Mind's Eye (- love this company! and look out for more beautiful papers to be released this month at CHA
here. Yummy!) Bella Bellezo line released earlier this year was simply beautiful with the traditional and floral patterns.
Here are the steps to create this page using several Bella Bellezo papers:
Trim inside square and flower from Wild blossom BB1005 pattern paper. Adhere to pink side of Bello Rose BB1004 pattern base.
From pattern left over from Wild blossom, trim out one length of beige scallop border and trim this to 10 inches long. Crinkle and layout flat again and ink scallop for vintage look.
From Papillion BB1003 pattern, trim out 5 x 7 piece from top right hand corner and adhere to layout. Tear around pink flower in upper left hand corner and adhere. Glue beige scallop border across top. Trim out 3 butterflies and glue to page. Optional- use pop up adhesive for the butterflies.
Trim Bellezo BB1002 rose pattern rectangle to 3x5 inches, tuck behind photo, layer in the date and journal tags
