Have you seen the new Prima
embellishments? Well then you are sure to have fallen in love with the old and
new variety of gorgeous goodies they have released. I love embellishments but
sometimes they are just too pretty to sit on a layout in an album, they tell a
beautiful story that should be displayed and shared for everyone to see and
enjoy. Don’t get me wrong, a beautiful embellishment on a layout is worth it’s
look in gold if you use it correctly and to its full potential – embellishments
thus are not for filling holes and empty spots on a layout just because you can
– embellishments need to have a purpose and add to the overall story and not
distract from the design.
Having said all of that I was
in need of a quick little gift for a special friend and the new Life Time
embellishments were just perfect. For my gift I used a 4x4 inch canvas and
covered it using my Tombow glue stick and a thin handmade silk paper – this
forms my backdrop. As embellishments I used a couple of elements together –
Newsprint mini-frames, butterfly and mini crystals from the Life Time range. I
love how the soft colours complement each other yet the statement they make is
huge. My message reflects my friend – strong and delicate with lots of sparkle!
i just love these elements to frame little photos and sayings
I also really love a good
chunky necklace with a surprise element. I have often used scrapping elements
together with beautiful ribbons to make custom jewellery that can be changed at
a whim and re-purposed on a craft project. I used one of the metal trinkets
tied with a piece of silk ribbon onto a chunky ball chain. I love the
combination of soft and gentle with a vintage industrial feel. These metal
trinkets are really amazing for jewellery as an accent piece, making a pretty
brooch, used on a key ring and even as home décor.
It just goes to show that
embellishments can be used in a variety of ways – even the unpredictable, but
they should always have a purpose. A great embellishment can stand alone quite
comfortable making a statement – just like these wonderful pieces by Prima.
