January 15: Painted Edges

Thanks for the challenge and the tutorials! I'll admit that this was one of the challenges I was dreading since I'd usually rather just use a designer's edge or style to achieve this effect instantaneously. But I'm happy with how mine turned out and may even do it again some time!

I painted the edges with a few different brushes, then changed the blend mode to color burn and lightened the opacity to help it all blend with the cork better.

Like the above, I struggled, firstly to choose a paper for the background without painted edges, and then painting with brushes afterwards. Not too keen on the result. I also added some 'inking' to the edge of the kraft tab in the bottom corner, which was easier due to the smaller size involved. The page edges were too tricky though and took me hours. So this is a huge thanks to those designers who do the hard work for me on the beautiful papers so I don't have to!

Thanks for the challenge! I used one of my favourite random brushes that I found forever ago that is clouds (I actually used it on another MOC page too, lol!). I hope it is obvious enough, but I did my painted edges on the photo mat in a coordinating colour to the paper.

 
MOC7 - Jan 15 - Painted Edges
All elements are from various Storyteller files 2018 (Feb, Apr & Oct). I painted the edges of the large photo matte, and the edges of the white paper and orange paper strip.

This was fun! I forgot how much fun I always had inking the edges of traditional scrapping! I left blank areas to add my journaling later as this is a page from our 2014 Indiana Harley trip.

 
I used a chalk brush on the papers at the top of the page and on the photo - very appropriate as climbers get chalk everywhere.
