Add Shine To Your Projects by Clair Rigby

Hello! It's Clair and today I wanted to show you all how I added a little bit of shine to one of my Pocket Letters using some Rinea Foiled Paper.

Now, if you are anything like me, sometimes you make a Pocket Letter (or a layout, or a card) and it doesn't feel, well, finished. It lacks something, but you aren't sure what. Well, that's exactly how I felt when I made this Pocket Letter earlier in November. So, I set it aside for a little while and, when I went back to it later, I realized exactly what was missing!

You can see from the 'Before' that I had added some Gold accents, including a little section full of sequins and some small Gold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper circle die-cuts. But, it felt a little flat.

Now, check out the 'Afters'. I've added small touches across the Pocket Letter to balance it out. I love the addition of the Gold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper to the section with the leaf transparency. Doesn't it make the white leaves so much clearer? 

And, I adore how swapping out a black die-cut diamond, to one made from my favorite Rinea shade, had made such a difference!

Shall we check out those sequins once more? *swoon*
