Technique, Reverse Matting, Layout Bliss





Project:    12 x 12 Layout "Bliss"
Designer:  Dionne Marie Smith
Blog:        DionneMarie.Blogspot.com
Photo:      Corinna Hoffman

Ingredients:
Papers:    Bazzill Basics Paper Cardstock, Black
               GCD Studios Donna Salazar Designs, Antiquities
Inks:        Ranger, Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Walnut Stain
Other:     Tim Holtz Grungeboard (used as a template for hand cut letters)

Techniques:
Using my favorite Reverse Matting technique, I placed my photo over the Donna Salazar patterned paper and traced in pencil. Then added a 3/4" trace, leaving the portions of the design out of the trace.
With an exacto knife I cut out the middle of the paper, then inked and out-lined with a second hand cut layer of cardstock.
