Those "little touches" are one of the things to LOVE about Merkeley Designs products!
Not only does she pay attention to the details in her own projects, she creates
wonderful tools to help us add these beautiful little touches to our own work!
Just in time for the Oscraps Birthday Party: FOUR amazing new designer tools from Merkeley Designs!!!
Sliced * Papelets 2 Templates * Emboss It 21 * Pattern It 2

Sliced

Do you love templates or collages? Sliced is a GREAT new style of template to
create your own collage. Fill the sections with paper patterns, solid colors, photos, elements
or journaling. Tuck things under the framework borders to create your own unique page.

Papelets 2 Templates

What are papelets? They are paper templates. Each template contains 3 coordinating patterns.
Just imagine the many many possibilities! Each template comes in both .psd and .tiff format.
(psst...look at the darling zig zag / chevron pattern -- it's all the rage!)

Emboss It 21

(Hold me back -- You know I go crazy for the Emboss Its!)
Emboss It 21 is a set of 4, 12x12 embossed overlays. This set has 4 different arrangements of flowers.
Create a beautiful paper with a texture you can almost touch. The files are in .png format.
To use these embossed textures, Merkee suggests trying the overlay blend mode. Start out at 100%.
If you would like a more subtle emboss, drop the opacity or try soft light. If you would like more
texture and more pop, try duplicating the layer or try the hard light blend mode.
And Merkee provides basic instructions with the download! (Thank you!) :clap2:
These coordinate with Pattern It 2 -- up next!

Pattern It 2

Pattern It 2 is a is a set of 4, 12x12 pattern overlays. This set has 4 different arrangements

The area that isn't black is transparent. The files are in .png format. These coordinate with Emboss It 21.
