How To Layer Llamas for a Stunning Page

Today's layout is a shining example of how to layer llamas for a stunning page. Paprika paper collection from Photoplay Paper is bright and cheery and scattered with merry llamas. With a bit of texture and a few added die-cuts the whole layout has a happy feel.

~ Shine ~

 I started the background texture for this layout with Rub-ons, Calambour 3D Gel, Nuvo Embellishment Mousse, and tissue paper images.

 A couple layers of gloss medium and lots of drying time secured the edges of the tissue paper.

 The photo mat started with patterned paper and finished up with a flourish of product packaging. I even made a few clips with ribbon ends.

 I left the edges of the photo mat loose, only adding glue to the center so that I had room to scatter stickers and paper shapes around the edges.

The orange blossoms and tissue paper leaves at the edge of the photo are separated with stacks of craft foam.

The laser cut chipboard was rubbed with Nuvo Embellishment Mousse then layered over the orange blossoms with a few drops of Best Glue Ever.

A variety of die-cut doilies are stacked at the corners of the photo mat and interspersed with the blossoms. 

The lacy edges of the doilies are echoed in the white outlines of the flourish on the photo mat base. The llamas add a touch of whimsy while the triangles of mandala set this layout apart. The lime lace and matching chipboard and the final touch of spice.

How To Make A Congratulations Card That Shines

Today's project is a Congratulations card that shines. Rinea Foiled Paper and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist work together to give the dragon a spark of personality. Best Glue Ever from ScraPerfect works behind the scenes to keep things secure. 

~ Congratulations ~

 The dragon medallion is a stamped and embossed image. I painted it with Glimmer Mist to give it a water color effect. I used a corrugated circular die to cut out the dragon.

The base of this card is a 4"x 6" piece of emerald Rinea Foiled Paper. On top of that I placed a slightly smaller piece of black cardstock with the word Congratulations cut out from it with a die.

 I used Best Glue Ever to go all around the word. To get in the small spaces with out over doing it I used a No-Clog Writing Cap.

The dragon medallion is centered on a strip of gold foiled paper with scant amounts of BGE.

After letting the glue set a minute I added thin strips of Best Glue Ever to the back of the gold foiled paper and centered it below the sentiment. 

 I spread a thin layer of BGE on the card blank to hold the base down and the card was finished.

 Best Glue Ever adheres to smooth surfaces without wrinkling the paper. The No-Clog Writing Cap helps me get glue in all the nooks and crannies. ScraPerfect products make this card a success.
