This is what the CI patterned paper looked like before altering.
This is the same paper after altering.
Final layout
I have chanced upon this Creative Imaginations paper. In its natural state, the paper is natural and and black. But I found it too plain to my liking and I have decided to alter the paper and adapt it so that I could stick it onto a Hambly transparency.
Firstly, I cut out the paper according to the pattern and added Glossy Accents to the paper and waited for it to dry. After which I rubbed Distress inks onto the paper parts which I didn't apply the Glossy Accents. I have thought that I wanted to colour the Glossy Accents too and hence - I decided to add Stazon ink to it. To my delight, the colour held and I loved the effect of it.
Hence - the lesson is, the next time you love a piece of patterned paper but its not the colour that you wish for - please don't hesitate to alter it. Have fun altering....

Wow! I have only 1 question...take how long u altered it???
I am not sure I understd your question Creative Bee - this layout was done in June.
It took me only a while - the only thing that takes a long time is to wait for the glossy accents to dry. Thats all.
Cutting the pp - maybe half an hours and putting inks on the pp - maybe another 10 mins? Hope this answers your question.
Thank you so much! You gave me all the answer!
You are most welcome CK.
