Melinda's Tip: Audrey is such a fabulous collection for making a big statement that I wanted to keep the rest of the layout fairly muted and understated. A great way of adding just a subtle hint to your layout is to add border punch elements using the same paper as the background. I've also taken a similar approach with the layout title by using a similar colour alphabet sticker to the paper panel so that the title is visible yet soft and not overpowering.

Melinda's Tip: I've used several pieces from the Audrey Cardstock Stickers on my card, however I needed to remove the adhesive from the back of each one because I needed to put pop dots under them to raise them up from each other. So a really quick and easy way to do this is to pour a little bit of baby powder on the back and rub it over the sticky area with your finger. The powder instantly takes away the adhesive and with a quick wipe down with a dry cloth you can add pop dots and they stick as per normal.
Thank you melinda for giving us these fun techniques to try! Tomorrow is the last day of our Punky Sprouts spotlight and we'll be sharing th rest of our teams albums so make sure you stop by for that!
