OMG - I knew Erica's new Island Paradise kit would end up in my cart, solely for the floral bg paper!!! It epitomizes the islands and is a must have for those of that like to go to Hawaii

LO Notes:
1) I used Meryl's quick click as a starting point, then added more photo layers as needed
2) The bg is a blend of the floral_splash paper set to a linear burn blend mode overtop of the turquoise_shutters paper
3) I clipped the white_diamonds paper to the quick click's stamp border and inner frame grid
4) Using masks I wove the alpha under the inner frame grid and had it escape the outer border, securing it with the colored staples
5) Using masks I clipped the floral_splash paper to the scalloped journal strip, duplicating it and setting the top copy to a screen blend mode at 50% fill
6) I adjusted the hue of the marbled brad on the journal strip
