Sometimes, you come across a perfect paper, that just captures the essence of the photograph you intend to showcase, and you don't need to do an awful lot to it, as it speaks volumes.
This particular paper collection allowed me to recapture the 'moment', many years later :)....sometimes nothing changes ha ha !!!!
You will find papers themed for events and occasions .....
......and places you may have visited......and much, much more.
With busy papers, you could extend the 'theme'. Because this Christmas paper was so busy, I didn't want to add too much and detract from the photos. I took inspiration from the paper, making a journalling mat in the same style obscure star shape, and punched some red dots to mirror the paper. Because there were stringy lines on the background, I also wrapped a fine silver thread around the star.
Creating a background of a country's national flag is another way or allowing your background paper to speak volumes, before you've even added anything.
....France......
......USA (and yes there are the correct number of stars) .....
....and China. I asked the girl in our Chinese take away to write China in their language characters (in the bottom right corner), and she was thrilled to 'help'.
So many more possibilities...so get cracking :)
