Series of Nature Walks...Scrapbook Page and Matching Card - Take 1

I was disappointed when they announced that we'd be getting Nature Walk at Vancouver Regionals. Although, in the back of my mind i knew they'd demo some cute projects with the set and then I'D JUST HAVE TO HAVE IT!! ; )

I have to say I'm very happy that i now own Nature Walk!! I can't stop using it!! It's so versatile!! Today i'm showing you how you can incorporate a card into a scrapbook page or vice versa!! I have more cards and layouts to show you in my next post!! woohoo..! (again ..love love this stamp set)

In this post i show the Clear Block Technique. Here is an 8x8 Scrapbook Page using the Clear Block Technique.



Here i used 2 clear blocks and brought in a bit more colour! Click on the photo above to in large it...you'll see the page in more detail. (how i used Marina Mist Ink with the Texture Jumbo Wheel to texturized the paper and create a soft background)

I also used Rosettes. These are adorable ribbon flowers that make quick and pretty accents. I dyed the Rosette so it would coordinate with the Marina Mist Background.

A Quick Tip: To dye your Rosettes you use Classic Stampin' Ink (reinkers or markers). In this case i used Marina Mist marker and a little bit of water from the aqua painter. I coloured the flower with my Marina Mist Marker and then went over top with the aqua painter. A litte bit of water softens the colour. Attach with a Glue Dot.

GreenHouse Gala Scrapbook Page

I saw a similar Scrapbook page on a display board at Stampin' Up!'s 2010 Convention and just had to try it out. I love how quick and easy a Scrapbook page comes together when using Designer Series Paper (DSP).

To add a soft subtle waterwark look to any project all you have to do is use the same colour of ink as card stock. OR you can use versa mark ink on any colour of card stock. For this project I inked up the flower image from Just Believe in Pear Pizzazz ink and stamped it on Pear Pizzazz card stock. I pierced around the edge of the Pear Pizzazz card stock. Using markers i coloured the frame and flower image from Just Believe stamp set adding the words happiness forever from Fabulous Phrases stamp set.

Here is a close up so you can see the watermark and piercing effect.


I also created the same page layout in 6x6 version to show how versitle scrapbooking can be using the same products changing up the size of the page layout.
