I cased this first card from Andrea Walford. It uses my all time favourite (and very first Stampin' Up! stamp set) stamp set Lovely As A Tree.
Other supplies:
Whisper White cardstock, Not Quite Navy classic ink pad, silver cord, sponge, top note die, acetate.
Then I wanted to use the same colours and stamp set and try the Shimmer Mist technique.
Here is how I made this card:
1. I mixed the rubbing alcohol (99%) and Platinum Shimmer Paint - 2 oz. of rubbing alcohol and 6 drops of Shimmer Paint.
2. Cut a card from Not Quite Navy carstock - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 "
3. Using my Shimmer Mist created in #1 above, I spritzed the entire front of the card and let it dry
4. Cut a Top Note die template from acetate
5. Using dotto I adhered the card onto scrap paper, then I adhered the acetate template to the scrap paper overtop of the card front.
6. Using a sponge and Not Quite Navy classic pad, sponge around the outside of the top note template
7. Then I applied the Platinum Shimmer Paint direct to the Lovely As A Tree stamp
8. Stamp the trees onto the top portion of the cardfront
9. I applied the Platinum Shimmer Paint direct to the sentiment and stamped it in the lower right hand corner of the cardfront
10. Using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig I stamped the sentiment again with Basic Black classic ink
