Anyway, I’m off to Google this information. Here’s my layout for the week. Not many supplies were used, it was easy as pie. Check it out.
Supplies
- Notebook
- Ruler
- Brush Pens (665 and 623)
- Marker
- White Pen
- Acrylic Block
- Stamp Ink
- Day Stamps
Step One
First off, I wanted to create a simple layout with the most basic supplies. So, I lettered the month with my brush pens (665 and 623). I was going for a blended look, but I used too much color and it came out a solid shade of purple. Oops. In any event, to correctly blend the colors, it’s best to color onto a ceramic dish or plastic bag with the darker of the two shades. Then, with the lighter color, color slightly over the darker color. I added a bit of detail with my white pen.
Step Two
I wanted a framed look to my layout – and decided to create a bold line with this marker followed by a thinner line right under it with this marker. I used the framed technique around the entire notebook and with the six rectangles.
Step Three
Last, I attached my days of the week stamps to my acrylic block, applied some purple stamp ink, and stamped each box (combining Saturday and Sunday together).
