Embossed Stickles at Sunset

Hello, Beth Norman, here with an Embossed Stickles card.  What a fun way to use Stickles.   I have about 20 different colours--they are so addictive.   You will find this technique on the the Shimmer Glimmer Sparkle and Shine CD.

My Small Couple stamp is from Impression Obsession, one of our sponsors.  They have a new challenge every two weeks and I am submitting this card for their "I'm Thankful For" challenge this week.  Can you tell I'm thankful for my cuddle time?

I stamped out the Small Couple stamp and then masked the couple and created a sun.  Next, I masked the sun and the couple and brayered  Spectrum Kaleidacolor ink over to create the sky.  Finally, I coloured in grass with my Prismacolor pencil crayons and OMS.  I think the Embossed Stickles technique accented this image beautifully. 

I encourage you to join in on our weekly challenges.  If you don't have the CD, you can click the link above.  It is one of my favourite CD's, and I'm sure it will be yours too.

Glimmer, Shimmer, and Shine CD Sneak Peak by Judy Jackson

Do you love using glimmer and shimmer and shine in your projects?  I do.  Then this coming Friday, January 25, we have a Blog just for you!  This is one of my cards on the CD.  That is metallic gold paper behind the iris focal image and the embossed metal.  The happy birthday stamp is from Stampin' Up.

I really do wish you could see this card in person. This scan doesn't do it justice. The shimmer and shine are just wonderful. The iris has gold leafing and the background is glitter. Oh my how it sparkles!

There is a layer of embossed metal inked up with alcohol inks.  The metal was a "scrap" from some other project.  I save those types of pieces in a drawer and I regularly look through that drawer for elements to use on my cards and projects.

I hope you save some time on Friday to come and hop along with the Technique Junkie Design Team. We have some wonderful projects ready to inspire you!

Stampingly yours,
Judy Jackson
