Step by step

 Hello Stefanie here with another layout I created using Scrapping with Liz's recyclables Template #48 which is 50% off for SOSN this week. I also used a retired collab by Studio Basic and Little Butterfly Wings. I wanted to make a layout about my dislike of summer for the Monthly Muse challenge at The Lilypad.

I start with the photos.

I layer in some papers in the template paper spots.

next I add the buttons and flowers etc layering it up and under. Up for dimensional goodies and under for inks and painty stamps. I decrease the opacity of the washi (tape layer) and burn and dodge if needed to make it look like tape that is stuck down.

I add my journaling and a title, then a Mommyish style for the title to add texture and dimension. I always use One Little Bird's shadow styles at 120 degrees. And finally an action to resize and sharpen and I am ready to uplaod it to th egallery and forum thread.
