Marilyn Rivera and Ebony van der Starre

Hello everyone! My daughter turned 17 two weeks ago and I made this page for her using two of the new collections Thoughts Keepers and Soulmates.

I used the new damask stencil and molding paste to create texture in my background work. Then added some stamps with the Thoughts Keepers- Clear Stamps.

My title is a tag(12 x12-Soulmates tag) that I added the number 17th.

The Elements 6 x 12 Thought Keeper(die cuts) added the perfect accent to the page.

Supplies I used:
Soulmates- Damask Mask
Soulmates- Tags-12 x12
Soulmates- Sensuality paper
Thoughts keeper-Elements 6 x 12
Thoughts Keeper- Clear Stamp
Thoughts Keeper- No 3
Thoughts Keeper No 6
Thoughts Keeper No 4
Thoughts Keeper – pad 6×6

have a layout to show you that is great for using up all the left over scraps that you have already used from your 7 dots stash!
I have combined torn strips of my scraps, stickers and word elements, chipboard ,stamps and paint to create an interesting background. I can honestly say i really enjoy scrapping this way. It;s a great way to use up your supplies as well as being effective.

I have used white cardstock as my background this time and began with just a swipe of yellow paint. From there I grabbed some scraps of paper and some stickers and began building layers for a background. Once you have these down it is just a matter of layering on some stamps, some more stickers and left over pieces of chipboard. I have also added colour with some Faber Castell gelatos using the Destination unknown stencil.
To use up any of the small alphas you have how about cutting a whole strip or section off rather than using as small alphabet letters.

This cross was simply cut out from paper and I had cut it out to use on a previous layout. I had stored it away and found a use for it this time .
