Scrapbooking Ideas - Paper Distressing

Part 11

By Jennifer Gormly

 

Paper distressing is an effective way to add texture to your page. In the layout below, I have combined this technique with inking to create a worn appearance which balances well with the colours featured.

 
 

This layout was created using Scenic Route Newport Pink Daisies paper, Chatterbox Nook Orchard Blossom paper, two shades of brown cardstock, a brown pen, brown ink, a small circle punch and scissors (or sand paper).

 

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

 

1. Use the lighter shade of brown cardstock as your background.

 

2. Cut your Scenic Route Newport Pink Daisies paper so you have a piece measuring 26.5cm by 27.5cm and another piece measuring 30.5cm by 4cm.

 

3. Start with the larger piece of Scenic Route Newport Pink Daisies paper. Run the edge of your scissors or sand paper around all the edges to scratch away some of the pattern and expose the white core of the paper. Tear small pieces out of the paper (one or two per side) to help give an aged appearance. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. If you wish, run your scissors or sand paper over the edges again. Centre on your page and adhere.

 

4. Take the smaller piece of Scenic Route Newport Pink Daisies paper. Turn it over to the striped side. Again, run your scissors or sandpaper over the edges to expose the white core. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. If you wish, run your scissors or sand paper over the edges again. Adhere the strip horizontally about 2.2cm from the bottom edge.

 

5. Select three photos and crop. Arrange them one above the other down the right side of your page, as shown in the layout above.

 

6. Cut your title from dark brown cardstock. Glue in the top left corner of your page.

 

7. Use your small circle punch to make a collection of small circles from dark brown cardstock. Arrange in three semi-circles as shown in the layout above - a small one towards the top right corner, a medium one in middle of the left side and a large one in the bottom right corner.

 

8. Finally, cut a collection of pink blossoms from Chatterbox Nook Orchard Blossom paper. Outline the edges with a brown pen to help them stand out and glue around your page, as shown in the layout above.
