Here is my post for today:

Still celebrating the magic of wedding with plenty of sparkle, my card today features the appropriately named, "Love Birds" stencil, done with the Double Glitter technique which is so ably demonstrated by Lynell Harlow in her Scrapbook Soup episode HERE.

My card follows the same process, using the Midnight Opaque Ultra Fine from Art Glitter for the Love Birds, and the background being filled with Silver Opaque Ultra Fine.

The completed panel was matted and adhered to a navy blue card, along with a white cardstock panel that had been mist-stenciled with Memories Mists Silver through the Damask stencil.

The long "Bless You" sentiment was simply machine-embossed with my Big Shot on metallic silver cardstock. Embellishments were the deep blue rhinestone stickers, a fluffy sheer white bow, and one of the Dreamweaver 3" pearl corsage pins. The end result is formally elegant with a touch of whimsey.

It's Officially SUMMERTIME!

Technically, it's summer now! What better way to celebrate than with a beachy card. You know you want to park your self in the center of this card, feel the sand between your toes, read a good book, and drink something cool, frothy, and fruity...with or without alcohol!

For this card, I used the Stampendous Cling Beachfront Boat, stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento, and colored with Copic markers. I used the tip of the "Blender" marker to add some movement to the water. The colored panel is popped up over a second stamping on the card base, a wavy border, beachball striped paper from American Crafts, and a fun sentiment complete the summery look.

Dreamweaver Stencils and Art Glitter for a Sparkling June!

Here is my post for today:

 I decided to do a triptych for my wedding card, using the Double Glitter technique. I cut and adhered three sections of the Double-Sided Mounting Paper to my long white panel. I taped off the heart portions, covered the back of the Heart Whimsey stencil with a light coating of Coconut soap, brushed with small amount of water to ensure good coverage of soap (thank you, Lynell, for that tip!). The soap prevents the stencil from being glued to the adhesive.

I first applied the blue-green color of the Ultra Fine Art Glitter Pee Wee Wonderland Kit over the leaf and vine sections. Then I used a soft brush to remove excess glitter from the entire stencil (pour back into container!). I removed the tape from the heart portions and applied in the pinky-lavender glitter from the same set. Rub the glitter in thoroughly for good coverage. Because it is ultra fine, it fills in beautifully. Once again, brush off all excess.

Now, turn the panel upside down and pull the panel away from the stencil, keeping the stencil flat. I covered the entire background portions with Art Glitter Ultra Fine Pearl. The pearl finish provides such a beautiful sheen and contrast to the sparkle of the glitter on the stencil design. All I needed to add was a pretty bow and charm to finish this off.
