India Scrapbook pages 6-7

Today's dual page layout is based on one of the layout sketches for December 2003 at pagemaps.com. Here's a closer look at each page:

The background paper is from an old mat stack from DCWV called Taj Mahal.  I cut a border from green patterned paper that coordinated with it.  I also added a cream colored grosgrain ribbon along the bottom of the page.  Pictures and journaling were printed on my printer - and I used distress ink to color the large mat on the focal, and the background of the journaling.  The title was die cut from another paper from the mat stack. The panel the journaling & title sits on was cut top and bottom using a Spellbinders border die.

On the 2nd page, I added a partial circle cut from the same paper as the title on the previous page.  I didn't have any dies large enough to cut the circle, but found a 12 x 12 stencil that had a large circle on it that I could trace & then fussy cut.
