Fabulous article by Jennifer Gallacher over at the Carta Bella website. Here's how designer Alicia Giess adds texture to card projects ...........
"1. Add a pop-up dot: One of my favorite ways to add texture to a project is with a pop-up dot. These make the elements, i.e. stickers, die-cut elements, ribbons, twine, or chipboard, pop right off the project. I used the adorable “It’s a Celebration” collection and pop up dots to bring the focus on the stickers that I added to the cards.
2. Add fibers like twine: Add just a touch of texture with a double-length cut of twine. Twine tied to a sticker gives it a little more depth and interest.
3. Layer stickers and die cuts: I also add texture by using my die-cut machine to cut a shape out of the cardstock and then adding a sticker on top of the cut-out area for texture. The 3-dimensional pinwheels also add texture to the card.
