What counts as an "embellishment"

Great to have some feedback and questions about the challenge I set. A layout using 6 patterned papers and 6 different embellishments. The patterned papers doesn't seem to have you thinking but the embellishments do!!

So this is what will count as an embellishment.

Buttons, chipboard, pearls, rub-ons, ribbon, flowers, trim, brads, sewing etc. Just six different ones but you can used them more than once. eg 3 Flowers, 5 brads, some stitching, 4 buttons, rub-ons and some ribbon. Whatever takes your fancy.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia says that an embellishment is anything that adds design interest to the piece.


Hope that all helps and looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Is the title an embellishment??

If it is done in chipboard or similar, ribbon or stitched it can be. Not if it is handwritten or typed - no.
