And here is one with the shimmer from the Creative Inspirations paint:
HOW To Make these cards:
-I made a DTP (Direct to Paper) swipe with a light green and a dark green ink pad
-Next, add Gesso over the ink and using a credit card, scrape it off in both directions- up/down and side to side
-Add more DTP ink in the two green colors.
-Stamp the shamrock in the darker green and in White Dye ink randomly
-Add Autumn Wheat Creative Inspirations Ink with an sponge or a stamp that has wide pattern.
-Stamp the sentiment in Black
-Cut out the Nestability and the Gold Metallic cardstock for the back layer.
-Put the Nestability back on the sentiment layer and use a dauber to gently apply color to the border
-Pierce the outer border of the Nestability.
-Using Gold Metallic thread, add a Zig Zag stitch to the top 2 layers:
***TIP- Using Metallic threads adds shimmer to your card and is a perfect way to glitz up cards for soldiers that you cannot use glitter on- Creative Inspirations Paints are another great shimmery idea- it will not rub off on the soldiers hans or get on their uniforms***
-Add the gems and the ribbon bow.
Products used:
Stamps: Shamrock Duo,
Inks: Shades Dye Inks and White Dye Ink for Parchment Crafting and Black Memento Ink
