Before I left for Wichita, I got the cutest stamp from the new Stampin' Up catalog. Kind Koala ranks high on my Cute and Sweet - O - Meter!
What do you think? And what do you think about the microfine warm highlight glitter? Isn't it cool? The marker is actually on TOP of the glitter! So hard to photograph - wish you could see it in real life - the warm highlights are beautiful and the koala is almost silky!
This is fun to do:
You can find the Glitter Ritz (I have warm highlight) and the Be Creative Tape at Ellen Hutson. I have the 4.5" roll. I also think the 8.5 x 11" adhesive sheets would be a great idea.
Once you have covered your image with the tape and glitter - you really need to burnish it. Your fingers will work just fine, rub until smooth and glitter is no longer coming off. It will be soft and velvety.
Amazingly, this glitter is so fine that you can color right on top of it! I think light strokes work best. I used my Copics, but I understand that just about any marker will work. I'm thinking you might not want a very pointy hard marker, however, as it might make gouges in the glitter. (I used the warm grays on my koala - his cheeks are RV10. The flower is RV10, RV21, and R22. The entire image is outlined in BG10 and feathered out with C00.)
Don't you think you could make some really fun stamped cards with this technique? Love this - of course, I can never resist cuteness and glitter!
Gorgeous card and image Lori. Fireworks have been illegal here for many years (possibly a good thing as I remember what we used to get up to when I was young) but some people will get some and set them off...loz
ReplyDeleteWow Lori.......your card is just beautiful. Love the technique you have used, such a pretty effect. Adorable stamp too. Fire works are not legal here, but some people still manage to get hold of them. New Years eve is when you here them :)

Wow! What a CUTE card, Lori! I love the microfine glitter! I'm going to have to check that out! That stamp is adorable, too! Yes, fireworks are legal here. We enjoyed fireworks on the 3rd. They always do them over the river here. It's always a great show! Glad you had a nice visit with your daughter!:-)
ReplyDeleteAmazing technique this is Lori, haven't seen this before, love love the effect! Looks very soft somehow, too! Glad you loved the fireworks, they're supercool, aren't they? In my country they're usually only allowed on New Year's Eve, but every now and then when there's a special occasion, organizations can get special permits. Take care, Ira
