Even though I only became familiar with Danielle Flanders and her unique style a few short years ago, in that time she has inspired me so much with the way she layers and embellishes her projects. She has a magic touch when it comes to transforming small bits of paper and scraps of ribbon into beautiful accents for her projects.
We are all in for a special treat with her new e-book from Ella Publishing, The Embellishing Handbook.
When it comes to embellishing, how do you know what should go where? And how do you know when enough is enough?
Get help from Danielle Flanders' timeless tips for accenting and adorning your scrapbook layouts and cards.
In this eBook, you'll learn Danielle's top five strategies for WHY we embellish:
- to establish a focal point
- to set a mood
- to reinforce a style
- to add character and creativity
- to incorporate texture
You'll also delve into her top five strategies for HOW to embellish more effectively:
- vary scale
- use repetition
- choose odd numbers
- create accent clusters
- combine patterns
Each embellishing secret is illustrated by two different projects—a beautiful layout and must-try card idea, all designed by Danielle herself. I am certain that anyone who reads her helpful tips and draws inspiration from her stunning projects will find themselves to be a better artist with projects that are taken to the next level!
