Patterned Paper Featuring Large Design Elements<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am a paper junky! I love patterned paper. I collect it, frame it, display it, work with and cover stuff with it. Ok so I really, really love patterned paper. Now that we have that confession out of the way I have another confession.<\/h3>\n

How do you use patterned papers with large design elements on them effectively? You know the kind where you are too scared to use the paper because you can\u2019t cut it up or add numerous photos because you always end up losing a part of that beautiful design \u2013 the very reason you bought that piece of paper. Yes you know exactly what I mean!<\/p>\n

I have found that by embracing the design itself you can effectively create \u2018white space\u2019 on your project but at the same time filling it with pattern and colour. For this specific layout I used the Glitz Happy Travels<\/a> \u201cbicycle\u201d paper. Instead of using the entire sheet I simply trimmed it down smaller thus adding the focus on the bicycle. But this left too much emptiness even for me at the top so I arranged different elements together to create a beautiful layered cluster of embellishments. This also offered me the opportunity to add my title here using different elements like chipboard letters and stickers.<\/p>\n

The bicycle design itself is so beautiful but quite flat, so I added some beautiful Prima blooms<\/a> and diamante to create dimension.<\/p>\n
