You're the Best!

It's time for Challenge #21 over at Rubbernecker Stamps and the theme is Copper and Gold. Be sure to play along by clicking HERE, because you could win one of two prizes, 1st place is a $25 Gift Card to Rubbernecker.com  or 2nd Place $10 Gift Card to Rubbernecker.com

To make my card I 1.  used Best Friends Etc  and stamped the sentiment with VersaMark ink and embossed with Champagne PEARLustre Embossing Powder.  2. Liner tape was applied above and below the sentiment and rubbed it with multi colored gold leaf then burnished to remove the excess.  3.  A frame was cut out of gold paper using 5007D Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Cut and glued to the stamped panel and set aside. 4.  869 Poppy Trio was randomly stamped on a black panel with VersaMark ink and gold mica powder was brushed over the panel, then wiped with a micro fiber cloth to remove excess powder.  5.  The black panel was mounted to a rust card and the framed piece was glued on diagonally.

Now head on over to Rubbernecker Stamps and play along with the Challenge, good luck!!

Near The Sea

Today I have some glittery goodness for you!  This is a technique I really enjoy doing, it looks impressive but it isn't difficult.  It is an acetate, Sticky Panel, glitter, gold leaf technique and I don't think it has a name.

Here is what it looks like when photographed outside.

1. Stamp Gold Fish Pair on acetate with Black StazOn ink.
2. Apply a Sticky Panel to the back of the acetate and cut the acetate to the desired size.
3. Put the acetate panel face down on a light box and using a craft knife, cut the outline of both fish, remove the carrier from the fish only and apply gold leaf in a Mardigras color.  Burnish with a brillo pad type tool.

This is a picture of it face down on a light table and the Sticky Panel backing facing up ready to cut.

4. Remove the carrier from the rest of the acetate and lightly sprinkle with Gold Lux Mix then sprinkle with Teal Micro Glitter and rub with your finger or the back of a plastic spoon.
5. When all of the acetate is covered layer onto a cream and rust panel and mount to a card.
6. Stamp Near The Sea on cream paper with rust ink.  Apply a strip of Sticky Panel to each end, sprinkle with Teal Micro Glitter and pop up on card using foam squares.

Acetate, Glitter, Mica...Oh My!

This card is so sparkly and pretty in person!  You get a dramatic effect using glitter, mica and gold leaf on acetate and it's not really that hard.  Just take your time and enjoy the process.  So here is your tutorial!!!!

1.  Stamp Apricot Plum by Stampendous... of course, on acetate with black Stazon. Be careful when stamping, the acetate can be slippery so don't let your stamp slip.
2.  When dry flip over and apply a Fran's Sticky Panel. 
3.  Place acetate piece on a light table with the stamped side down.  Use an exacto knife to lightly cut the Fran's Sticky Panel liner paper from the Apricot Plums only and remove the liner from the fruit.
4. Apply varigated gold leaf and burnish.
5.  Using the light table again cut out the leaves, remove the liner and apply Emerald Ultra Fine Jewel Glitter, rub in and shake off.  Put the excess glitter back into the bottle.
6.  Now for the last of the cutting, cut out that little branch, apply Copper Ultra Fine Jewel Glitter.

7.  Remove the remaining carrier and sprinkle with some Pearlized Mica Fragments then sprinkle on Blue Ultra Fine Pastel Glitter, rub in and shake off excess to put back into the bottle. Now sprinkle on  Royal Ultra Fine Jewel Glitter over the Blue Pastel, rub in and it will stick to just a few areas and shake off.
8.  Layer onto a black panel, decorative paper and onto a black card.
9.  Print out the sentiment which is a Stampendous Digital Download, sponge with peach ink, layer onto black paper and apply stick on pearls.
10.  Add light blue ribbon to the bottom by glueing the folds using Beacon 3 in 1 glue. Apply stick on pearls to the ribbon and to the right side of the card.
