Breaking up the paper.

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today we are talking about how to break up that busy paper.

As some of you know I am not always a fan of really busy paper or Designer Series Paper. I often prefer the more abstract watercolors or backgrounds. But, nevertheless, here I am talking about that busy paper that reminds me of my Grama. You see my Grama had in her guest bedroom some wallpaper that looked pretty similar to this. It was called the “daisy room” and after looking at the picture below you will know exactly why.

So instead of cutting all those little pieces for accents take a piece of coordinating solid card stock and place it across the entire piece to break up the pattern. It’s amazing how a properly arranged diversion can help so much.

If you use this technique please post your photos of your creation on my page, https://www.facebook.com/StampingWithJoni.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,
