Today we have Designer Shaunte Wadley creating for us using one of our favorites, Black Magic Cardstock. Get out that Sand it Set because sanding Black Magic is F-U-N!
Here is a little bit about this layout from Shaunte: ” I used Black Magic for everything but the journaling and the Flowers. Those are Whitewash (journaling) and Core Essentials (flowers.) I think it is pretty cool how well the colors matched between collections.
The title letters were a fun technique! I distressed them–the letters were too narrow for pop-dots–I would have had to cut them down a lot, so the Liquid Scrap Dots worked great! The end result looks like crumpled chipboard because of the dimension the Scrap Dots gave the letters.
I used the 450 Quick Dry adhesive as a base for glitter to stick to, to give a sort-of custom brad look to my side border on the photo.
Brilliant! Enjoy!

Wow! Love doing projects with rainbows but this one is really fantastic, the Black Magic with the colors peeking through is so dramatic.
I LOVE THIS, I seriously have to get my hands on some of this paper.. I just think the above project is sooooooooo adorable….
I just bought a Fir tree die. I’m planning on using my core’dinations paper for the trees. After they are embossed I can sand them and get a weathered look.
Christmas cards designed, now I need to get in and start working.
Liquid scrap dots?!? Where have I been!?! Seems like something super cool to me! Love the close-ups! Fab layout!
What a cool layout! Love the pops of color from the core and the rainbow you created!
Such a pretty and colorful layout!
Enjoying the projects.

WOW WOW WOW
Shaunte’s layout is STUNNING – LOVE the design, colours, layers, textures, scoring, sanding … ALL OF IT!!!
YES, it is great how the colours match between collections.
PS – This week it is great seeing Helmar work so well with the challenges the Core’dinations DT are putting it through. I am a self confessed 450 Quick Dry addict and this week I am getting tempted to try more from the Helmar range
oh, I do love the pops of rainbow color on this page! Faabulous use of the Black Magic cardstock!
Black Magic cardstock is so striking on a project!
Great layout. Core’dination papers really do blend well together.
I need to find some Helmar’s Liquid scrap dots
Love this layout! The Helmar adhesives work great with the Core.
Black Magic is going on my wish list!
Oh so cool!!! I love the rainbow of colors, too.
Oh my! This is so gorgeous! Love how you made the rainbow, and the sanded edges of the flowers. Just wonderful!
Love the strips of color with the Black Magic and flowers. The black and white photo looks great framed by the rainbow of colors.
So creative, love this!
This is so gorgeous!
Wow! That Black Magic really makes those color pop! I’ve never tried Helmar’s liquid Scrap Dots, but I’m definitely going to check it out. Sounds like a product I would use a lot.
