2. Mat the photo with white cardstock. Also cut a 3” X 6” wide piece of white cardstock. Trim off the top corners to make a tag. Use the
Tombow markers to write your journaling. Place a brad at top of tag and set aside.
3. Cut a piece of punchinello to 12 inches wide. Cut a piece of the TCD ribbon to 18 inches and tie a knot in one end leaving a small tail.
Weave the ribbon thru the punchinello going to around an inch from the end. Tie another knot to secure. There will be some ribbon left
over. Set aside.4. Cut a strip of GEARs paper to include 2 rows of gears. I colored them in with all the bright colors of markers alternating colors. ADD some

5. Color the 3 chipbboard elements gears with the markers. 6. To assemble:
Place the matted photo on top of the Griffin strip toward top left. Place the Punchinello across the bottom of the page under the photo. Glue down. Add the Journaling Tag with 3 D foam tabs Tie 2 Gears on the remaining tail of the ribbon hanging on the right
side. Attatch them after you tie the knots to secure. The last gear is added to top left of photo.

I wanted to share my process of how I created this layout.  I was faced with many obstacles but I was able to overcome them with confidence and I was pleasantly surprised with the result.  Here is my layout.


My first challenge is that I didn't have the right color letters for the title of my page. So I decided to create my title buy using a resit technique using the Tombow Dual Tip Marker and Teresa Collins On The Edge Distressed Dot Paper. Here are letters I liked, but as you can see the letters are pink.


My pink letters for my layout.  Problem #1

I decided to pull out this tool.  I call it my spatter tool.  I purchased this many years ago through an SU! Consultant.

SU!'s Splatter tool

I attached the Tombow Dual Tip Marker (brush side) through the holder and placed the tip of the marker at the end of the of the sprayer.

Next I used the Stamp Runner to temporarily adhere the wooden letters to the pattern paper.

Using the Stamp Runner

Once the letters were in place I just sprayed the letters.

spraying the wooden letters.

Then I removed the letters and traced around the letters to make the title POP off the page.




I continued to spray the rest of the paper with the other colors to give my background more color.  Simply attached all the other pieces to the layout and added the picture with the stamp runner.
Here is the layout completed.

I had fun using the Markers and Teresa's On the Edge collection.  Thank you for letting me share my obstacles and solutions with you on the Tombow/ Teresa Collins Blog hop.

“Flowers Layout”
Designed by: Amanda Jones (http://amandajonesblog.blogspot.com)
Featuring: Teresa Collins Designs – Posh and Core’dinations Core Amor Cardstock
(http://teresacollins.typepad.com)



Supplies:

4 3”x2” landscape photos
Posh – Stamps
Posh – Die cuts
Posh  – Core’dinations cardstock
Blingage – Jesse’s Jewels

Other: Core’dinations Black Magic cardstock with pink core, scalloped border punch, butterfly punch, black stamping ink, black alphabet stickers, sandpaper, journaling pen..



Instructions:

Preparing your page components:

1. Cut a piece of the black magic cardstock to measure 9.5” tall and 3.75” wide. Punch a border down the left hand side of the card and sand the edges to distress them.
2. Sand the embossed portions of your background cardstock to reveal the pink core
3. Stamp the butterfly from your Posh stamp set onto the reverse of a scrap of pink core ‘black magic’ card, and cut it out.




Assembling your page:

1. Adhere your photos to the black piece of cardstock you prepared, leaving an even border around them and a larger space in the centre. Adhere the pink die cut label shape to the gap in the centre. Stick the stamped butterfly in the centre of that and then add one of Jesse’s Gems on top.
2. Glue your photo strip to the centre of your background cardstock.
3. Cut or punch some butterfly shapes from a scrap of the black/pink card and arrange them around the photo strip, layering some together. Stick some down with the black side showing and some with the pink side up.
4. Add your title and journaling to the right of your photos.
