Hi everyone.
Please check out the details for the Glitter Painting Techniques and link to videos on the blog ...
You will see gorgeous sample cards by the group members.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make a card in time for the start of this month's technique. I'm not really settled in my studio since our last move, and the piles were getting higher and higher. Before one of the piles fell on top of me and hubby had to launch a search party ... I pulled everything out of the room and have just finished (mostly) putting it back.:) Hopefully I will spend less time looking for things and more time creating. :)
This is my first card since getting set up. This is a fun technique that is a bit messy, but I had a scratch sheet of paper to catch the glitter poured over my image and used it to quickly put the leftovers back into the containers. I also used my large Surface Sweep brush (Tonic) to keep things tidy. It helped.
I'm sharing a card made with the technique that uses die-cuts. I followed the instructions, but next time I'll layer two dies before adding glue and glitter to give it more depth for adding glue. Then add a third die-cut over top to finish the card. I would like to try this using a different background. You don't need to use acetate with this technique. Coloured card stock would look good too, along with other substrates. This should minimize the stray glitter that gets stuck to acetate, which seems to have it's own static cling!
This card uses the lovely Hibiscus Frame die (SSS). I used spring green and dark purple glitter, which is so pretty together. The sentiment is Endless Birthday Wishes (SU - retired) I love the font on this and will always keep the set.
Sending this card to the Seize the Birthday #294 - Anything Birthday Goes
This has been fun. And a great way to use glitter that has been sitting around for a long time. Hope you'll try out one of the techniques (or both!) and add your card to our gallery. We'd love to see you there.
Thanks for stopping by.
