Stenciling with Sheer Shimmer Stix

Posted on February 17, 2019 in Cards, Imagine, Recent Works, RG Avenue, Techniques

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a new product to share with you. I am talking about the new Sheer Shimmer Stix from Imagine. It is a fabulous dauber applicator that you can apply and control at the same time. I decided to use mine to make a stenciling technique. Take a look at my card:

I used Calypso Coral card stock to create the card base and worked all my design over the second layer that is whisper white card stock. First, I took a stencil and secured it over the layer with masking tape and with the dauber top of the Silver and Rose Gold Sheer Shimmer Stix added the shimmery color over the free areas of the stencil.

The paper dries immediately and the shimmer touch is amazing!

In a separate piece of whisper white card stock, I stamped some flowers and leaves from the stamp set Wild Rose from Pretty Pink Posh using VersaFine Clair Nocturne and clear embossing powder. Then I colored the center of the flowers with a dauber using two different colors of Memento Ink, Desert Sand and Peanut Brittle. For the leaves I used two different greens of Memento Markers, Pear Tart and New Sprout. I splatter the entire stamped piece with the also new Sheer Shimmer Spritz Rose Gold. I don’t used the spray function, I just open the bottle and used the spray tube splatter some drops.
To continue with the process I fussy cut my flowers and leaves with my scissors, resized the stenciled layer and pasted it directly over the card base. Then, I arranged and pasted the flowers on the lower part of the card.

I completed this look adding a shimmer touch to the petals of the flowers with the Dauber Top of Frost Sheer Shimmer Stix and stamped a sentiment over a banner calypso coral with VersaFine Clair Nocturne to have a great contrast. I used an Spanish Sentiment included on the new stamp set Sueña Alto from RG Studio 360.

I am fascinated with the performance of the new Sheer Shimmer Stix Dauber Tops, you can keep the control of the color, you can mix tones and you can add just in the place that you want!
