This week at Frosted Designs we, the Design Team, are showcasing our favorite techniques. (or at least something we do a lot). I have a couple things I do "often" so I settled on one that seems to "scare" other scrappers when they see me do it or I get lots of comments on it.
So here it is:
I really like to 'scratch' my photos around the edges. I think it adds just a little texture and can really make a photo pop. Sometimes I just scratch a line for a border and sometimes I scratch more elaborate borders, like the arrows on today's layout. I just use a seam ripper and go for it. If you're scared to try it, start with a scrap that you've cut from a photo to try it out. And don't forget, you can always print another picture!!!

Hey Joni, It's Star from Personal Scrapper. I had to go find you because I knew I recognized the name of the winner on the Prima blog! You lucky girl, congrats! I added myself as a follower, love your work, havent seen it in awhile!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great technique. I will be trying that one soon. Does it work just as well with photo's printed on your home computer, or do you have your photo's printed professionally?
