I'm SO excited on a technique I experimented with tonight.......the background paper you see here with the marbling on it....It's actually Wallpaper........I designed my wording and graphics (dark green leaves & vine) in my Corel PSP and then PRINTED IT ON TO THE WALLPAPER with my Laser Color Printer.......It looks WONDERFUL....has such a wonderful permanent finish to it......After I printed my graphics onto the wallpaper I then layed out a cut file I wanted to cut into the wallpaper for a design....This WONDERFUL border you see down the left edge of the cover is a cut file designed by Paulo Guarmarous it's called "Wildborder.svg" if anyone is interested in the file you can visit his blog by clicking on his name and download it from his amazing site....I WARN you however.....You will absolutely positively fall in love with his ART....He is SO VERY talented!!!!!
Once I cut the design I then carefully removed the cut out and then lined the back with a piece of wallpaper that I had ran through my xyron to put adhesive on it and adhered that sticky side through the cutout and then covered with some bronze color glitter.......It's a nice subtle effect I believe....
I then trimmed the border of the front cover with decorative border ribbon and a bit of lace....wrapped a ribbon around and tied off added rhinestones and the flower I had designed cut and decorated the other day...the file for the flower is in a post earlier this week...just scroll down the page a bit to find it if you care to download the .svg file for it.....
I lined the inside front and inside back with a green decorative wallpaper and the backcover with the same pattern as the front and trimmed the edge with a bit more of the decorative border trim.........
I'm very happy with the design of the layout and look forward to getting it into my store.......
Ok, that's it for me tonight.....I want to thank you for stopping by....I do hope you come again soon.......I hope you all have a very blessed Wednesday!!!!
