October Designer Post for Happ Craft challenge blogspot

Good Morning all

It’s a new month already  here on the Happy Craft  Challenge - Support Group Face book Site, as part of the Design Team we were ask to create using Texture

WHAT IS TEXTURE, you may as?

 There are lots of types of texture, it can be rough, smooth, coarse or grainy

VISUAL TEXTURE:

Pattern papers, a combination of light and dark coloured paper

Medium:

By adding Mediums such as Mists, Embossing powder, Glitter, Paints, Inks and paste, creates another layer on your work be is an ATC, Junk Journal, Off the page piece, card or layout.

LAYERING:

By layering fussy cut pieces on to your work using foam tape, dots or square adds dimension and another form of texture

OTHER FORMS OF TEXTURE:

There are many ways to add texture to your work.  Items such as: Corrugated card, buttons, leather ribbon, string, stitching, material, cork, tags, metal, chipboard pieces, lace, dye cuts, you can add inks or paints to further add texture to these pieces or you can dye them, the list is endless.
