A background page in 9 steps Masking and cropping The background page is often the poor relation of scrapbooking. It merely serves as a support and we can see it most under patterned papers and lots of embellishments. What if we were to give it back its pride of place by working it with masking techniques and gave it a romantic touch by adding a white ribbon? by Ingvild Bolme With all the details that you are going to create on the background, this page setting does not really need a lot of embellishments: a felt barrier, a few flowers, a branch, a bird and a few bits from clockmaking are going to delicately frame this portrait of my daughter Iselina. But you can, of course, decorate it to your own taste! The technique is quite simple; it is based on a triple use of masks: first as a support for the design, then with a spray ink in the most classic way of using masks and to end with as a base to get a offcut. 158 HISTOIRES DE PAGES - LET'S TALK LAYOUTS MARCH 2014 ISSUE 2
