Step-by-Step: Molly Look-Alike

Photos, as always, suggested the color scheme, and red, blue, and lime green became the focal trio. The background cardstock is printed with a design that breaks up the solid red feel and adds a layered textured look. Adirondack inks in Lettuce and Stonewashed were used to stain the Heidi Swapp chipboard letters, and the journaling strip color and title strip color were chosen to coordinate with the ink. CK Sassy Font matched the tone of the page and was used for the one-word segments. Making Memories flower brads in lime and blue filled in the gaps.
