Diamond Life

I do love using lots of different patterned papers on a layout and this Quirky Kit makes the doing even sweeter by combining various manufacturers to give a harmonious but not matchy look to a page. See how many papers I managed to use on this page

Actually not as many as it seems as the base paper already had some patterned sections on it and some of the papers are double sided but still - not a bad haul (and it includes the journalling spots which come from the 7 Dot Studio Hopefully "Play with me" paper.) I also snuck in a circle made from the Pink Paislee Photograms packaging as it matches with the paper.

I used a Dienamics diamond border die in order to add lots of pattern in relatively small doses and combined Black Soot Distress Ink and black pen edging to give emphasis to create a colourful but definitely not girly page.

One of the words on each journalling spot has been highlighted by writing it on another matching one and sticking it over the top of the same word already journalled. This might be because I managed to spell a word wrong by not concentrating and decided that it needed to be hidden!

See if you can guess which one...
