Working Wednesday... Accents

The Accents or Highlights of a scrapbook page is the part that gives your page the "Zing". Accents can be anything, stamped images, flowers, primas, die cuts, tags, ribbon, buttons or brads. Anything that you add to the page that catches the eye and draws attention to the photos. They can be added on top or stamped right on the background. The main function of Accents is to add dimension and interest to your page. Also memorabilia from the event or activity can provide historical and personal touches that add to your layout. One main suggestion that Stampin' Up! gives us when choosing accents is to... "select ones appropriate to your theme: organdy ribbon on a wedding page or hemp on an outdoor page." Many crafters now refer to accents as "EYE CANDY".

So your challenge today is to create some "eye candy" that you will use later on a scrapbook page...
