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.

Can I just say how much I love working with these Can I just say how much I love working with these Distress Oxide inks and the "thanks" thin cut?  Love!  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!?

I had fun during Technique Tuesday this week! Her I had fun during Technique Tuesday this week!  Here is what I did with the piece I created during the live.  I cut it down just a bit and used Pearl paper and Black Ore paper for the sentiment.  Want to know how I made that colourful piece?  Click my link tree in my profile and click on over to YouTube.
