Today I am participating in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Theme is familiar!
So I mentioned how much I LOVE the Ornate Background stamp, but I had just gotten some Nuvo Shimmer Powders that I of course saw Jennifer McGuire use here.
They are SO BEAUTIFUL and shimmery. The photos DO NOT do it justice!!! These two colors have gold shimmer to them that blend so well together.
Products used:
Nuvo Shimmer Powders - Catherine Wheel and Solar Flare
Spray bottle (water)
Yay stamp set from CZ design\Simon says stamp
Simple sentiments stamp 02 set from CZ design\Simon says stamp
Ornate background stamp from Simon says stamp
Techniques or tips and tricks
Take white paper (i didnt even use watercolor paper), apply embossing buddy, stamp ornate stamp with versamark. Emboss with black
Tap on the Nuvo Shimmer Powders all over card
Spray with water to activate, add more if desired, spray more as needed
Dry with heat gun if you need. If it warps, try flipping over and heating from other side to straighten. You can also do a quick run through a laminator to flatten. Make sure you place inside a folded copy paper and remove QUICKLY. you will lose a little embossing powder on the paper, but it will still look great. I did it to mine!
Take black scrap paper, apply embossing buddy, stamp "congrats" and "great frickin' job" in versamark and emboss in white. Emboss a second time for a good solid white image
apply and enjoy!
