Add textures to presentation surfaces with textiles, metals, natural elements (mica, burlap, sandpaper), art mediums (metallic flakes, texture paste), papers, & clear elements (transparencies, glass). Versatile, with numerous "rustic" effects. Method instructions are succinct & useful. Really like this one.

Very nice book very visual. Even though the title says ideas for scrapbookers no, no, no. It is ideas for anyone that makes paper crafts: cards, books, altered books. It all translates to each other. The layouts are just fantastic. The fact that the layouts are not sketched in this case does not get to me because it shows the techniques.
