Cluster Embellishing

Cluster Embellishing: Master the Layered Look on Your Scrapbook Pages

Taught by Nic Howard

Do you look at beautifully embellished projects and wonder how you can arrange your embellishments to look the same? Do you sit for hours moving products around your pages wishing that you knew the secrets to arranging them in a visually effective way? Do you have more embellishments than ideas? Then this class is designed for you!

Join Nic as she breaks down the process of embellishing your page easily and effectively. Clusters of embellishments, the kind that make you go back to look at the detail of a layout again and again, are the goal in this class! Numerous examples and sketches, big tips and suggestions will set you along your way. You’ll learn, through step-by-step instruction, how easy it is to create something visually effective and learn techniques to help you create similar beautiful clusters of embellishments time and again.
