Holly has a great sketch for us this week at MDS Monday and along with the sketch we're asking you to give the "torn paper" technique a try. HERE is a link to the Stampin'Up! tutorial on how to add ripped photo edges. I've used the technique around the edges of my photos. I happened across a fun "discovery" while creating this page. I had initially started with a DSP background, but when I made my "discovery" I changed everything completely.
I've used overlays plenty of times and thought I would put an overlay onto my original background, but when I recoloured it, I discovered that it looked exactly like mud. Since we were walking on the ocean floor - in this gorgeous New Brunswick mud....it worked perfectly just to leave it on the top of the page....once I had the "mud" placed, I really didn't want to add any more "embellishments". :)
Here's the sketch!

Love the aged look of the "mud". And the photos look very rustic with the ripping - I'm going to have to try that.
OMGosh, Joan.....this is AWESOME!!!!! I love the muddy background and what a VERY cool thing to see!!! You are a lucky girl!!!!
Hugs,

The is great, Joan! I love the photo as a background. The 'mud' overlay looks great!! Such cool photos - trees growing out of the top of a massive rock...
I really like how you used an original picture as your background and I have to say I like it with the overlay.. I'm all about the texture and overlay looks. Both are great!
