It's time for another Dolce Stamps and Cards Challenge! This weeks challenge is brought to you by Tara, who is challenging everybody to make a card or project using a little shine. Think metallics. Your shine could be paper, embossing powder, glitter or an embellishment. We would love it if you played along! Just upload to your blog or online gallery using the keywords DSAC07. If you play along you get a chance at some free stampin' goodies from the Dolce Online Store as well as a blog badge. You can find all the details on the Dolce Blog.
I used Elizabeth Craft Jewel Glitter Ritz as my metallic shine. Thought I would share in pictures how to create this glittery ornament.......
Peel the backing off of a sheet of Scor-Sheet.
Cut a piece of card stock the same size as your Scor-Sheet and attach to the sticky side.
Die cut an ornament out of your card stock/Scor-Sheet.
Peel the backing off of your ornament. I always save this part to make masks.
Arrange your masks over the sticky part of the ornament.
Pour some grasshopper green glitter over the ornament. Tip~make sure you have a piece of copy paper under your ornament. This makes it easy to pour the unused glitter back into the bottle.
Burnish the glitter in well. Do this by rubbing in a circular motion with your finger. You will get glitter under your fingernails. It's okay it washes off easy!
Brush the excess glitter off well and pour it back into the bottle.
Peel off the flower masks. Save the for another time.
Punch out some small circles from the backing for a mask and place them in the flower centers. I used the biggest hole on the Cropodile to punch out my circles .
Pour some Fire Red glitter over to and burnish in.
Brush this off well and pour the excess back into the bottle.
Remove the flower centers and the ornament cap.
Pour some Dark Gold glitter over the ornament. Burnish it well and brush it off. Return the excess glitter to the bottle.
Embellish as desired!
