Description:Today's paper art magazines showcase intricate layered pieces yet give little instruction on how to instill meaning into personal projects. "Layers" teaches papercrafters the skills they need to express themselves using paper, embellishment, color and texture. Expert designer, Shari Carroll, provides simple step-by-step directions for the latest paper techniques, including distressing, sewing, transfers, stamping with wax, and much more. Readers receive a variety of ideas ranging from a wall hanging scrapbook page and an art journal to a collage book and CD book cover. Also included in the book are stunning inspirational examples of Carroll's own collage work and suggestions for customizing projects.
