scraplifting tips
Treat the inspirational layout or card like a sketch or
template by adjusting photos and elements to suit your
needs. A scraplift doesn’t necessarilymean copying
the artwork inch for inch. Perhaps it’s the title alone
that inspiredyou, or theway the artist positioned
embellishments. Move things around and stay true to
your own style.
Scraplift yourself. Have you created a layout that you
absolutely love?Create it again
!
I really loved the clean, fuss-free look of Pam
Bray's beautiful card. As a simple cardmaker, her
linear style fits sowell withmyown.
I was drawn to the oversized cluster of flowers
and binding ribbon on Pam's card, and recreated
that lookwith amore simple, paper-pieced
flower.
I've always gravitated toward cards that feature
a larger paper pattern on top and a smaller
spring on the bottom. Pam's card is a perfect
example of that style.
For added texture onmy card, I randomly
dotted several of the starswith a varietyof
enamel dots.
