I have two layouts in the magazine.  One shares a technique for creating this layered tag:

The other shows you how to layer acrylic paint for a textured look:

Here's a list of other bloggers whose work you can find in the magazine:

I was very gratified to see both Ronda and Kim using Balzer Designs stencils on some of their pages in the issue. I particularly liked how Kim layered her stencils with washi tape and stitching.

(That's the Balzer Designs "Diamonds" stencil, btw.)  Such a cool look, don't you agree?

This special issue of Creating Keepsakes Magazine is packed with techniques and ideas.  I hope you'll check it out and let me know what you think!

Thanks for stopping by!
