This month's DT kit designed by Sharon is beautiful! The Anna Griffin papers are so inspiring- the browns, reds, greens and blues set the tone for fall. When I got the kit, I was so inspired to distress. The Kraft brown of the papers remind me of all things old. So I broke out my inks and scissors and began to give the edges are nice distressed feel. Now, when I do distressing with ink and scissors I will start with putting a nice layer of ink on the edges of the paper, grab the scissors and rough up the edges then follow it again with more ink. I think it gives it more of an authentic "aged" look. I even distressed the photo corners that I used on the edges of the paper. I even inked up my journaling spot.
Sharon did a beautiful 2 page LO that is for sale at ScrapbooksPlus. Stop by and check it out as well as the DT wall. The wall is pure inspiration!
You read my mind on "old" for these papers - heritage, museum, gettysburg....anything that lends itself to an aged look. I simply love kraft paper!
ReplyDeleteYou definitely perfected the "old" look - good job and what a great topic to capture!
