For My post today I added a little silver for some bling. I chose the Ornate Christmas Tree LX7003 that Lynell released at CHA I haven't used this stencil before, so I was excited to get it out and use it for this post. The technique I chose to use was one that I really enjoy using glossy paste and mica powders. The cardstock that I used for the image to be pasted on is called Ice Silver and has a silvery shimmer to it. I taped the stencil on all four sides then using the Paste Spreader (LM2010) and Black Glossy Paste (DGKP) I spread the paste over the stencil. The paste spreader does a great job giving you a nice even image. After I removed the stencil I sprinkled some Moonstone F/X (04) over some areas of the image. Once the paste dries and glossy paste takes some time, at least and hour unless you have a warming tray to use ( I have to set my images away or I'm constantly wanting to touch it). Then take a small piece of a Swiffer Sweeper and brush away the excess Metalllic F/X. If you look at the closeup picture you can see the spots of white on the black glossy paste, this is the fun part of this technique. I can be doing 10 of the same card but each one will be just a little different. I then cut down the image area and layered it on black card stock. I added a strip of silver glitter paper with snowflakes on the side and the used black tulle for the ribbon and last but not least I took one on the corsage pins( TIPI- ivory) that Lynell sells and used the new Sizzling Silver Color Solutions alcohol inks to paint the pearls silver and then added silver micro fine glitter from Glitter Ritz.

I almost used this same stencil for today's project and talked myself out of it thinking black and Christmas tree wouldn't work. BUT I WAS WRONG!

ReplyDeleteScary!! I held that stencil in my hand and was thinking almost the same thing!! I couldn't find any of my jewels or we would have looked like we had conspired to do the same card!! No wonder we were partners. Any ideas of how to do the on line classes? I'll take suggestions!
