I struggle constantly with creating pages and cards that are not too
flat or too dull. And while I love the plethora of accents that are on
the market today, sometimes it’s just not possible to find exactly
what I’m looking for. But here’s what I have found: 102 Ideas
for 3-D Embellishments—all in one book. They’re unique and
fun and I can make them myself—typically for cheaper than I would
buy something that’s not quite perfect for my project. Even better,
this book has inspired me to come up with more of my own ideas to add
just the right touch to a page or card.
You can purchase this book of inspiration at www.paperwishes.com
for just $8.95.
