Use Cluster Recipe 2 to create an overlapping card cluster and add it to a scrapbook page.

NOTE: Please complete the lessons in the order they are provided.

Cluster Recipe 2 - Overlapping Card Cluster

Journaling card

• Rectangular or square
• Room for overlapping elements

1-2 overlays

• Unshadowed
• Go behind the card
• Examples: paint, scribbles, brushes, stamps, or transfers

2-4 elements

• Must be shadowed, so no overlays
• Go in front of the card, overlapping it
• Examples: tags, alphas, flowers, hearts, or small berries

Additional Guidelines for Recipe 2

• When overlapping a journaling card, avoid hiding any important details of the card, like words in a phrase.
• Always add a shadow to elements, but never shadow overlays.
• Keep all overlays behind the card and all elements in front of the card.
• All overlays should peek out behind the card.
• All elements should overlap the card and stack on top of each other.
• Avoid choosing large solid elements (like big tags or stickers) that will hide other layers.
• Use the same kit for all parts of the cluster.
