The distressed numbers are just so cool! I wanted to use it as the background for this sports page, but I thought there was too much contrast. By simply watering down some gesso and dry brushing it over the paper, I was able to mute the design and create a softer background. Here you can see the difference:<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"ColorWays Wrestling Layout- Susie Bentz\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paperhouseproductions.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog_images\/2015_design_team\/Susie_Bentz_2015\/2-Paper-House-Noir-Stencil-Grit-ColorWays.jpg\" alt=\"ColorWays Wrestling Layout- Susie Bentz\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I adore the rub-on transfers from the ColorWays lines! Rub-ons are very popular in mixed media, and the sets from Paper House contain a nice selection of graphics, words, and phrases. I used my primary photo as the background and added a mix of rub-ons to create a wonderful graphic element on the layout.<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"ColorWays Wrestling Layout- Susie Bentz\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paperhouseproductions.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog_images\/2015_design_team\/Susie_Bentz_2015\/3-Paper-House-3D-Wrestling-Stickers-Be-Happy-Rub-On-Transfers.jpg\" alt=\"ColorWays Wrestling Layout- Susie Bentz\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Paper House has a wonderful set of 3D Wrestling Stickers. I chose some pieces from the ColorWays Sapphire Collection to coordinate with the blue on the stickers. They were slipped behind the photos as photo mattes. I also added another rub-on to the photo below\u2014the white on white adds subtle visual interest!<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"ColorWays Wrestling Layout- Susie Bentz\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paperhouseproductions.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog_images\/2015_design_team\/Susie_Bentz_2015\/4-Paper-House-3D-Wrestling-Stickers-Today-Happens-Rub-On-Tranfers.jpg\" alt=\"ColorWays Wrestling Layout- Susie Bentz\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Noir Accent Pack is a collection of 42 eclectic pieces to mix and match. Many of the pieces have metallic foil, like the card I used below (any day of wrestling is a pretty good day!). I also used a few pieces of washi from my stash, and the four white diamonds are more rub-ons!<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"ColorWays Wrestling Layout- Susie Bentz\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paperhouseproductions.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog_images\/2015_design_team\/Susie_Bentz_2015\/5-Paper-House-ColorWays-Noir-Accent-Pack-3D-Wrestling-Stickers.jpg\" alt=\"ColorWays Wrestling Layout- Susie Bentz\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, here&#8217;s a banner detail created with a piece from the 3D Wrestling Stickers and some chevrons trimmed out of paper from the Sapphire Collection.<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"ColorWays Wrestling Layout- Susie Bentz\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paperhouseproductions.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog_images\/2015_design_team\/Susie_Bentz_2015\/6-Paper-House-Sapphire-Trim-Cards-ColorWays-3D-Wrestling-Stickers.jpg\" alt=\"ColorWays Wrestling Layout- Susie Bentz\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Products Used:<\/p>\n<p>Paper House Noir Stencil Grit 12&#8243; ColorWays<br \/>\nPaper House Noir Accent Pack<br \/>\nPaper House Sapphire Trim Cards 12&#8243; ColorWays<br \/>\nPaper House Be Happy Rub-On Transfers<br \/>\nPaper House Today Happens Rub-On Transfers<br \/>\nPaper House Wrestling 3D Stickers<br \/>\nOther: \u00a0Washi tape, cardstock, gesso, tag, ink, twine<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find some time to play today!<\/p>\n<p>~ Susie<\/p>\n<p><img title=\"Paper House - Susie Bentz\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paperhouseproductions.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/blog_images\/Susie_Bentz\/SusieSignature.jpg\" alt=\"Paper House - Susie Bentz\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source: Paper House Productions<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I absolutely love the new ColorWays Collections!
