Scrapbooking 101: Tone on Tone Paper

For this page, I wanted to use a strip of Always Artichoke cardstock across the top.  Had I left it plain, it would have been too stark and boring.  So, I created tone on tone paper by stamping an image across the cardstock using the same color ink.  It’s a great way to get the look you want in patterned paper because you pick the color and images.

Sorry this picture turned out so bad.  I'll try to get another one posted.  See my previous post for the first page to this Fall Fun layout.
