This is a card Tori and I designed together especially for Mallory's birthday. We can't wait to party tonight with you girl! Happy 11th!!! When the card was complete we sprayed it with Shimmer Paint mixed in alcohol to give it an all over 'shimmer'! Mallory hopes to design clothes some day - we hope her gift and this card inspires her.
Here's my card trade for Stamp Club. I tried to show all of the different ways you can use shimmer paint. For the ornament I mixed the White Shimmer Paint with Ruby Red reinker and then used a sponge dauber to apply it directly to the stamp. That was stamped right onto Whisper White paper and then I used the Ornament punch to punch it out. The curly Q's behind the ornament are from the Season of Joy stamp set. And shimmer paint was applied directly to the stamp with a sponge dauber and then stamped. On the Certain Celery piece of paper I stamped all of the 'snowflakes' with the shimmer paint/ruby red ink mix. The Peace on Earth was stamped in just Ruby Red ink and then I lightly sponged over it with a sponge dauber and shimmer paint. I sponged all around the edge of the celery paper with the shimmer paint as well.
This is the card we made at stamp club last week. I decided to take pictures with the camera, rather than scanning it, so you could see all the sparkles! It really worked!!! We embossed the ornaments with clear embossing powder and then with a sponge dauber we rubbed the White Shimmer Paint directly over them. You can wipe the excess paint off the embossing with a tissue, but whatever comes in contact with the paper stays there. For this middle part on the green ornament we used the dauber with shimmer paint directly on the stamp and then stamped it on the green paper, punched it out and used a dimentional to attach it. The sparkles on the red paper were made by using rubbing alcohol mixed with a little of the shimmer paint in a spray bottle.
