\"The<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Use Bright White Solid Cardstock as the base for this layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: <\/strong>Add Place & Peel Tape around the outer edges of your 5×5 Stencil. Lightly stencil the grid pattern using Hot Fudge Ink and the coordinating Craft Blending Brush in three places on the base page: 2″ from the left edge at the top, 2-1\/2″ from the top and 1\/4″ from the right edge and 3-1\/4″ from the right edge at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip<\/em>: <\/strong>When using a stencil like this, start in the center and apply the ink with a light hand, gradually using less pressure as you work outward. This creates a soft, faded effect. Because Hot Fudge Ink is close in tone to the paper, be sure to use a very light touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Ink the edges of all the paper pieces using Hot Fudge Ink. Cut a piece of beige leaves designer paper to measure 2-1\/2″ x 6-1\/2″ and adhere it 2-1\/2″ from the bottom and 1″ from the right edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Cut a piece of diamond designer paper to measure 2-1\/2″ x 7-1\/2″ and adhere it directly to the left of the first piece, positioning it 2″ from the bottom. Then, cut a piece of beige leaves designer paper to measure 4-1\/2″ x 5″ and adhere it 3″ from the bottom and 2″ from the left edge, overlapping the previous piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Cut two strips from the brown striped designer paper to measure 12″ x 1\/2″ and one piece to measure 10-1\/2″ x 2″. Adhere the thin strips along the top and bottom edges of the layout. Then, adhere the larger strip 3-3\/4″ from the bottom and along the right edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> Cut three pieces of green designer paper to measure 3-1\/8″ \u00d7 4-1\/8″. Crop three photos to measure 2-7\/8″ \u00d7 3-7\/8″ and adhere them to the mats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> Adhere the far-right matted photo 3\/8″ from the right edge and 4-1\/4″ from the bottom. Adhere the middle matted photo to the left, leaving 3\/8″ between the two. Finally, adhere the last matted photo 2-1\/2″ from the bottom and 3\/8″ from the center mat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8:<\/strong> Finish the layout by adding journaling, final ink touches, stickers and embellishments, using Foam Squares on some for added dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
