A second layout with the BG Bittersweet collection.
This time, for texture, I creased the strips of paper at different angles and inked the creases.
To the left of the photo, I cut and stacked several blocks of paper scraps and scattered some dew drops around. Journalling lines created with black thread in backstitches.

Although the white space gave the layout some breathing room, I didn't like the flat colour, so I spritzed several types of mists - Stewart Superior Memories Mists come in dye-based as well as pigment-based colours, which show up subtly on dark cardstock. Don't you love mists? I mean the scrapping kind!
