SHIMMER AND SHINE CARD
Shimmer and Shine card! I love techniques, and stretching my die cuts and stamps is one of my passions. Today I am sharing something that I explored using these two products combined with embossing powder and Shimmer Spritz. Prepare your favorite die cut and your big shot, but be alert because on this card you don’t cut anything! Take a look at my card and let me show you how you can make one just like it:
Take a piece of a dark colored card stock and your favorite die cut and rub with the embossing buddy to eliminate static and moisture on these.
Apply VersaMark ink easily over the raise up borders of the die cut. Only the borders.
Prepare a sandwich with your big shot to make an embossing with the die cut on the card stock. The order of the sandwich is having the platform open in tab 1, cutting pad, embossing mat or rubber mat, card stock, die cut and cutting pad. I have exclusive acrylic pads to make embossing and to make cutting and in this opportunity I am using the embossing pads.
When you remove the pads, you will notice that you didn’t cut the paper. Instead, you obtained a great embossing thanks to the embossing mat or rubber mat.
Cover the embossed image with Silver Embossing Powder . If you noticed that the ink is dry or doesn’t cover some parts of the image you can “re-ink” using the VersaMarker. Melt the powder with the heat tool.
Now stamp the sentiment using VersaMark and Silver Embossing Powder. You will noticed the difference between an embossing image and a de-bossing image.
To add more shimmer over the stamped layer you can spray it with Shimmer Spritz. I used the Sparkle tone.
Paste the decorated layer over the card base using Tear it! Tape. The size is 4-1/4”x11” with score in 5-1/2”. If you want to finalize the decoration you can add some tiny pearls or any other embellishment to enhance your design.
