HOW TO
Cut a rectangle of white Bazzill and use patterned papers to create ‘scenery’ and add to layout. I used coloured pencils to shade between the ‘sun rays’. Draw and shade a frame, matt the inner edge with red card and layer on top of your ‘scenery’ with foam pads.
Use chipboard pieces to create an easel stand, paint then ink the edges and add to layout
Draw, then cut a tree and decorate with buttons and gems. Add to corner of frame.
Draw an ‘open book’ on the lined paper. Add photos and patterned paper and fix to left of frame.
Stamp onto lined paper using a journaling stamp and the circle of words. Add to layout and add monsters cut from patterned paper. Add triangles and a strip of paper to the bottom of layout.
Finish with journaling and the title.
