6. Stitching
A touch of stitching is always welcome on Rhonda Bonifay’s pages. The decorative element at the bottom of her layout is hand-stitched.
TIPS
• Pick a guide. For the stitched swirls on her page, Rhonda printed out a digital element on plain paper and used it as a template to make holes for the stitches she added by hand.
• Dress it up. You can easily dress up embellishments and pieces of patterned paper by adding a little hand stitching around the edges. Rhonda made customized accents by stitching on circles of patterned paper.
