Tone-on-Tone Raised Embellishments

One way to add subtle detail to a layout is to add tone-on-tone raised embellishments. I added tone-on-tone raised embellishments on this layout in three places, punching or hand-cutting shapes from the same patterned papers used for the blocks on the layout and layering each (with pop dots) on top of the matching patterned paper block. I extended each shape beyond the edge of the block to make the shape pop more clearly.

Here's a closer look at the red star:

I created this layout as part of this week's challenge week on the Bella Blvd blog. Today's challenge was to create a project using patterned paper from four or more different collections. Be sure to check out the challenges at Bella Blvd this week and participate for a chance to win!
