Creating a dramatic backdrop is a great way to showcase a favorite photo. This layout was created by using left over Thicker phrases on a white background. The words add texture without taking away from the focus. A strip of patterned paper with colorful stripes frames out the layout. It’s a simple, fun and bold design technique.
To add journaling, simply print on white cardstock and cut into strips. Then use Sticky Thumb wet adhesive to attach to the Thickers.

A few scattered rubber embellishments from the Oh Happy Life line to break up all the white in the background. They add a whimsical, colorful touch to the design. Remember to set aside all of your left over Thicker phrases the next time your stumped for a new idea. Try it on a background for bold impact!
