Hello, everyone!
It’s Nancy here, with my final DT post for ScraPerfect.
I’ve made the tough decision to step down.
Big THANKS to Amy and Penny for everything!
Here’s the card I made for today:
I’m afraid I don’t have any process photos for you.
It’s sometimes hard enough to get regular photos this time of year
but getting good photos of all this glitter was even more difficult. ;o)
This is a fun technique that I’ve been wanting to try for ages,
so I’ll walk you through it.
I began by making an A2 tent-fold card from black cardstock.
I then cut a piece of sticker paper at 4″ x 5 1/4″.
I peeled back the protective layer from the sticker paper,
and adhered the stencil in place.
I thought this stencil was perfect for a masculine birthday card,
as it’s all full of gears and numbers.
Once the stencil was securely in place,
I generously sprinkled it with the blue glitter.
Using my fingers, I burnished it all very well,
then gave it a really thorough brushing with the glitter brush.
Then I peeled off the stencil,
and generously sprinkled it with the silver glitter.
I repeated the burnishing and brushing,
and was left with a fabulous glittered design!
It’s so fun and easy, and I think it’s very effective!
Next, I took my chipboard “Happy Birthday”
and inked it up with embossing ink.
I sprinkled it with black embossing powder,
and heat set it.
Now the words are so dark and shiny!
To finish off the card,
I adhered the glittered piece onto the card base with foam tape.
Then I used my Best Glue Ever to add the words in place.
This glue does a great job of grabbing onto a glittered surface!
Finally, I used the Perfect Cleaning Cloth to clean up all the glitter.
It truly does an amazing job of picking up all the random glitter
that always manages to get everywhere!
I would say it’s a “Must Have” for this technique!
I can’t wait to try this technique with another stencil!
It’s so much fun to do! I hope you give it a try!
