Technique Tuesday – Marble Inlay
Today’s technique continues with the theme from Monday’s post: Over the Top Bling. This project involved designing a title page for a scrapbook about my trip to the Taj Mahal. However, I could not find a piece of patterned paper that conveyed the “look” I was going for.
Taj Mahal - Title Page
My solution was to make my own patterned paper by designing a background that resembled marble inlay. I started with a picture that I had taken of the inlay work.

Using a lightbox I traced the design onto a piece of paper. After scanning the tracing and ”tweaking it” with a vector graphics program it was printed onto gray marble patterned paper. The effect was complete when metallic gel pens were used to color in the details.
