UPDATE I'm working on counting all the various entries. Winner to be posted later.
This is the final step of the progressive challenge. You must have completed step 3 before proceeding to this step.
For this step, you will add
exactly 15 embellishments to your page according to the following rules:
- At least 2 of your embellishments must be home-made
- You must use at least 5 different types of embellishments
Types of embellishments are things like stickers, die-cuts, ephemera, enamel dots, chipboard, etc.
For example, 3 enamel dots will count as 3 of your 15 embellishments, but only 1 of your 5 types
I'm flexible as to what you consider a home-made embellishment
Your 2 home-made embellishments can be the same as each other or different
For my example, I used the following 15 embellishments:
- wineglass in lower left (home-made die-cut)
- other wineglass in lower-left (home-made die-cut)
- word sticker ("life is good")
- orange flower (laser cut)
- yellow flower (laser cut)
- pink flower (laser cut)
- chipboard circle (with heart in the middle)
- puffy sticker green heart on corner of journaling
- purple chipboard heart (lower right)
- lavender acetate leaves (upper left)
- lavender acetate leaves (under journaling)
- grapes (home-made die-cut)
- Halloween droplet (brown drops that look like enamel dots)
- Halloween droplet
- Halloween droplet
Types of embellishments: die-cuts, sticker, laser cut ephemera, chipboard, puffy sticker, acetate, droplets (I have 7, the minimum is 5)
Rules:
- Add 15 embellishments to your layout according to the rules above
- Do not add anything else
- Upload an image of your layout to the gallery here at ACOT and post the image in this post
- List the 15 embellishments like I did in the example, specifying which are home-made
- list your types of embellishments which must be at least 5
- If you have any questions, ask
- You may combine the completed layout from this step with one other challenge that allows it plus all of the ongoing challenges such as the team and bi-monthly.
- This is due July 31 at midnight EDT
- You must complete step 4 to be eligible for a prize
If you made it this far, thanks for playing along and I hope you're having fun!

Question; May we do splatters as a finishing touch, and would it count as an embellishment?

No. Splatters could have been done in step 1, but not now

Question: on my die cut birds, I put rhinestones or black gems in their eyes. I don't know if it counts as two embellishments, or if they are part of my handmade embellishments?

Louise, I made banner.

It's 3 different categories,- brads, twine and ribbon. For embellishments I would count it as 3 items, 2 brads and 1 banner. Is it correct?

You can count that as a single homemade embellishment

I think there is some flexibility here. 2 brads and 1 homemade banner is fine and would count as 3 embellishments

Thanks, no worries. I used the Doodle Pop and it made 15. I would consider it a 3-D embellishment.
