Embellishing Your Patterned Paper

Sometimes I get a piece of paper that the design on it is so beautiful or fun I just can't bear to cut it up. So I came up with a fun way to use it as my background piece but still add a little more to it by embellishing the design already there. Here are some fun things to help you embellish your patterned paper.

• flowers, stars or the asterisks from letters stickers
• rhinestones and glitter
• Of course Stickles
• paint or ink
• rubons or stickers
• Letters or numbers
• Brads or eyelets
  

Here are just a few examples:

This paper was from the TTT January Kit #3 and I just loved the cake. I added an M for Makenzie,stickles, rhinestones, stickers, and flower asterisks.


This page was just too cute. I loved the little monsters on the bottom so decided to add a few more. Then I added googly eyes to all of them to make them pop and decorated them with Stickles. For the tree I glittered the leaves with Stickles and added a hat rub on to the owl. He also needed some googly eyes ;)



On this page the flowers were just so fun I couldn't cover them up. I used brads to embellish all the circles around the flowers.
