We had a fantastic lot of entries to last weeks Merry Monday challenge, thanks for joining us.
This week the Merry Monday Challenge is to use an Ornament or Ornaments on your Christmas card. I saw a new technique that I hadn't tried so I decided to have a go for this challenge. I found this card at Gayatri Murali's Blog Handmade by G3 and there is a video on Jennifer Rzasa's Blog for her Radiant Glitter Technique. Instead of doing a whole card front I used the Technique to do just the Ornaments. I love how they turned out, so sparkly and pretty. I followed Jennifer's tutorial and then die cut and punched the snowflakes and attached them to the Adhesive sheet before I began to use the glitter. I kept my glitter separate on different sheets of scrap paper because my containers are large enough to be able return and reuse the glitter.
Supplies:
Stamps: Simon Says Christmas Sentiments
Card and Papers: Whisper White, S/U's Sizzix Dble Sided Adhesive Sheets,
Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo
Finishing Touches: Very fine Glitter, Karen Fosters Scrappers Floss, Darcie Sequins, Crystals
Cool Tools: Big Shot, Sizzix Holiday Ornaments Framelits, Carl CP1N Snow-A Punch, Sizzix Northern Frost Decorative Strip Die, 1 1/4" Square Punch, Simon Says Merry Christmas Die, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals, Tombow Multi Purpose Glue
Thanks for visiting today, I would love to hear from you.
Hugs.
