Rub-ons are one of my favorite embellishments. But sometimes I keep them too long. (You know - saving them for the perfect project). And then they crack or some of the images stick to the paper backing that is supposed to protect them. I hadn't had this package of Amy Tangerine rub-ons that long - but when opened them they looked like a supply I had hoarded too long.
But these were really pretty and I am a frugal scrapbooker - I hate throwing away any supplies. So I used them to make a fun background for this layout.
First I created the two photo blocks and attached them to the base paper. Then I added gold and teal ink splatters - cause I can't make a layout with splatters. I used a couple of rub-ons for another package that were still in good shape to start to build the backgournd. Other embellishments went next. Then I randomly place the sheet of damaged rubons on the layout (trying to create a connection between the two photo blocks) and added bits of color and pattern. I didn't worry about overlapping the rub-ons with themselves or with ink splatters. The title went next.
And there you have it - a beautiful mixed media background using supplies that were headed for the trash.
