This week I have done a LO and have tried not to use paper! The background is cardstock but the
rest is all material scraps. Before you put that bag of clothes in the charity bin have a peak and keep bold bright patterns and cut out pretty flowers and background patterns for your Layouts. Buttons, ribbons and even lining material can be used for a textured effect which can look much nicer than using paper especially if it is for a framed LO.
In this LO I have used left over fleece material. I have cut out
flowers from the material and mounted them and added a button. The
purple material is old lining which I have frayed at the side and have
used the frayed threads to make a nice bow which completes the LO.
Happy wardrobe raiding!!!
Love this idea Ruth, must keep an eye out for some nice fabric scraps. I love the colours ou've used in our LO. Thanks for a great class.
