There's a beautiful snowfall going on right now - makes me want to sit with my nose pressed against the window watching it come down :o)
About a week ago I made a go-to list for myself of current embellishments/techniques I could add when I get stumped on a card I'm working on. Sometimes you feel done but the card still seems bare and you're just not 100% there. So I wanted to share it with you too.
- cut quotes into word panels
- use paper piercer for borders, doodling, stems
- scalloped layers under straight edges
- roughed up edges
- watercolored shading around main image
- cutting main image past border
- mixing fonts
- layer paper medallions, flowers
- ticket punched corners
- hardware with ribbon attached
- flat-backed gemstones in a row
- mixed patterns
- punched corners held down with rivets
- flourishes
- machine stitched borders
- 1/2 circle notched panels
- belted and knotted ribbon
- circular labels
- notebook punched paper
- trendy color combos
- tags in assorted shapes with words
- faux stitching with white gel pen
- Cuttlebugged panels
- painted chipboard
- embossed borders, sanded
- word window tags
- pop-dotting elements
- Asian-inspired lines
- stamped twill/ribbon
- file folder label tabs
- stamping over book pages/text
- arch form
- altered puzzle pieces
- fabric flowers
- doodling in black
