Showing posts with the label shimmer spray

Long overdue....

My best friend has been complaining that I never make HIM anything when I craft. So, I decided to make a modified version of a scrapbook page I saw on a blog this week. I used a piece of ChipBoard that is approx 7-5. I covered it with black cardstock and then added a smaller layer of the Text DSP. I drew a heart on the DSP and tore it out by hand. After gluing it down, I smeared Liquid Tombow on the exposed black cardstock and then filled it in with tiny punched hearts. The hearts are from the Love Letter Collection, which I LOVE! One side is red and the other is white with black polka dots. I used both sides randomly to add interest. After I put all the hearts on I sprayed the whole thing with Shimmer spray in clear and brown. I also used a Stipple brush (remember those? I miss them!) to add some shading around the edges. I still felt like the heart needed to stand out more, so I took my black Marker and made some faint squiggly lines around the edge of the heart. The picture is mount...

Jeannie scissor hands

You may remember cards from Jeannie from days gone by. This is the card she submitted for our May swap. She 'loves' to cut out things. It is obvious in her work. I love how detailed and beautiful it is! She has a great eye for composition as well. You might not be able to see it, but the background is the damask embossing folder sprayed with the shimmer mist. It is truly a beautiful card.
