Scrap Girls Digital Scrapbooking Forum: Viewing image Tues Freebie Challenge Girl-Butterfly Thing - Scrap Girls Digital Scrapbooking Forum

This was a challenge in a couple of ways. First, when I do a freebie challenge (every so often), rather that build a whole layout around the freebie, I try to incorporate the freebie into a layout I'm working on. I did that here. Second, in the layout I was working on, I was trying to re-create a technique I saw on a paper scrapped page. The artist had put some glitter in a page protector, sewed it closed, and added the packet to her layout. I remembered Sarah Batorf's "page protectors" that I'd purchased a while back, but never used. The butterfly glitter was made with a special effect brush that came with my PSE4. There are several layers, so I could shadow them individually. Atomic cupcake's Sparkly action was applied, but I wonder if a sugar coating style would work better. I'll have to try that when I buy it. I used freebies SG_Dec2008_SBA_Paper_Tan and TKA_SSEmb_PatchItUp_SPECIAL1. Other supplies:
