Hello everyone!!
Jenny here today to share a layout I made using a few of my favorite techniques. I think everyone knows that I love to mat in black...alot. :) It is a trend that I am completely loving, and you will find it on a lot of my layouts.
Here are a few links to some of my most recent layouts with this technique...
Well, something else that I have been loving lately is distressing! Love the look it gives! (A few links, lol...Innocence and Magical Day). So, I have been playing with mixing the distressing and matting in black. It does take some time, but I love the end result! Here is a layout I made using both:
I love the pop the black gives the layout, but also love the distressing...it makes it feel not so super straight lined and clean. I have also added a few of my fave embellies: twine and pearls! :)
(*Note- I mat all my layouts with a smooth solid black cardstock, and distress using my trusty TH distresser.)
If you are not so keen on the all black matting, you could always pick just a few base pieces to mat, and leave everything else un-matted. That is a fabulous look as well. :)
You can head to my blog HERE to see more layouts with the above techniques. If you love to mat in black or distress, I encourage you to give this a try!! It makes for a bold, beautiful layout!!
Thanks so much for stopping by Practical Scrappers!! Have a wonderful day!! :)

Jenny I love the feel that the distressing gives to this page! And of course I love your black matting!
I really admire your work Jenny- love the look of the black matting! You're right, it gives such a nice pop to your pages! I wish I knew how to be as precise as you are with it, lol!! Great job!

Gorgeous layout and the black really does make everything look sharp and stand out..love the distressing too!
I love this look Jenny! I have not actually touched my scrapbooks lately (I know I am naughty), but I have never matted everything on a page before, black or otherwise, but I am definitely going to try this - I LOVE it!
