I completed the layout I started last week during I completed the layout I started last week during my Technique Tuesday! I love how it turned out.  I used Pattern 3 from the new Make It From Your Heart Vol. 5. I also dove into my stash of past Mix-In papers and old Complements. Any chipboard that isn't gold on this layout was coloured with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide as well. Then I also added some Sapphire Shimmer Brush splatters.

I used White Pearl paper to cut the shadow for the sentiment which has a beautiful sheen that really doesn't photograph well.  And how fun is that Majestic Holographic paper!?
