To make the embossed portion of the cardstock more evident, I used the Lemon Drops ink pad and lightly rubbed it over the sheet of cardstock:
I love how easily a swipe of ink pulls out the wonderful details! Then I used my trusty clear ruler and knife to cut the sheet into ruler strips:
I trimmed the strips a bit and staggered them on the page, creating a background for my photos. I snuck in a few other colors by adding scallop-punched strips of cardstock in pink, aqua and green (the aqua and green are from the Core'dinations Jenni Bowlin Vintage Brights Collection.)
