You really don't!
I have been using less and less patterned paper in my layouts lately. I am going to share a layout with you today where I haven't used any at all.
I started with some Studio Calico Wood Veneer Banner. I love to leave these plain but this time, I have choosen to cover them with some Cavallini Map Stickers.
I wanted to hang the banner from something so I drew in a plane...what do you think of the company name for my airline ?
I added some clouds and title, mixing up the alphas a little to add interest.
Next I matted a couple of photos with a doilly. I am loving the texture provided for this white on white treatment.
Lastly a few stickers, washi tape and journalling to complete the layout. And of course, my staple...buttons!
What do you think ? I hope you will give this a go. What can you do with a piece of white cardstock ? Quite a lot, I think!
