FEBRUARY DARE

If you dare!!!
So it's the first day of the month so what does that mean? Yep that's right time for a new CISter's Dare. So here we go......

The dare for this month is to create a LO using 'texture' as the emphasis.

Without texture a scrapbook layout would be dull. You can choose from a wide variety of textures to make your scrapbook pages unique. There are two basic types of texture: tactile and visual.

Tactile textures stimulate your sense of touch and can be incorporated into a scrapbook by layering different materials, fabrics, and other elements for a three-dimensional look.

Visual texture refers to what the eye sees. Using media such as paint, ink, and fabric, you can create textures on your scrapbook pages. Use your imagination and don't be afraid to experiment.

For me, texture means having a "feel" about it. Something that makes you want to touch and see what it feels like. This doesn't have to be dimensional, it can be subtle

For my LO 'Beanie Kid' I have used tearing and inking of pp, 'coral' paper, lumpy bumpy ribbon, micro beads and felt to evoke the sense of touch





So that you all know about texture, I would love to see how you incorporate it into your work. Have a go and upload to the CISter's 'dares' section of the gallery by midnight 17th of February to be in the running for a prize
