Dale's tip for April

Hi friends. It's Dale here with a little lesson.

My tip is pretty simple. Your layout can be far more effective if you mount everything with black (or dark coloured) cardstock.

Here are my starting papers and photo.

Here I have laid everything on the page how I want it. This way you can see what it looks like without the black cardstock.

 This photo shows how the page looks by mounting all papers and the photo with black cardstock. It is much more defined.

 And here is my completed layout.

Everything on the page is available from the Mystical Scrapbook store.
Hope you like this simple tip and feel like trying it out. Sometimes I find it is just a matter of remembering some of the basics and using them again.
