| Remember to choose colors of paper and embellishments
that compliment your photographs. Colors chosen here reflect the
colors in my photographs and the shapes reflect the theme in my
photographs, but they may not be the best choice for yours. |
| Instructions
|
| |
1. |
Apply adhesive to the photograph(s). Glue to yellow
or red cardstock then trim around the edges with Paper edgers. Apply
adhesive then mat with a second color. Use the Paper Trimmer to
trim the edges leaving a narrow border. Apply adhesive then mat
again with the first color used. Apply adhesive to the matted photographs. |
| |
2. |
Cut two, 12” x 2” strips from the red
gingham paper. Apply adhesive to these strips and the balloon die
cuts. |
| |
3. |
Punch balloon shapes from scrap pieces of white paper,
or vellum then cut out numbers using the shape cutter and template.
Apply adhesive with the small sticker maker. Remove the cellophane
from the top, but leave the shapes on the backing sheet. Roll the
bottle of paint on the table to mix then snip the tip. Start the
flow of paint on a paper towel then spread the paint onto each shape
with the bottle tip, making sure the paint reaches the edges. Let
dry 1 – 2 hours, or overnight. |
| |
4. |
Referring to photograph of project, arrange then place
the gingham strips, matted photographs and die cuts on your page.
Tie strands of floss around the ends of the balloons. |
| |
|
Peel the numbers from the adhesive backing sheet then
place on the balloon die cut. Peel additional balloon shapes from
the sheet then place on your page in a random fashion. Use the marker
to add journaling and balloon strings. |
