I really enjoyed lifting the page!

Here is my lift in digital!


to lift it, here are a few tips!
- make sure your papers are all muted, you want that faded look so your elements will pop!
- stick to a limited colour scheme, here I have gone with browny creams, blues and a little red.
- apply a grain filter to your photos to give it that vintage look
- distress, distress, DISTRESS!
- I hate typing out the supplies! so I usually leave it till last! but this time I knew I was going to use a lot of elements, so I made my self record it down every time I used a supply after opening it up.
- also name your layers! you don't want to search through a hundred and something layers just to find that itty bitty button you want to get rid of!
