The Last Week of a Wonderful Collaboration


 AND


ARE TEAMING UP THE ENTIRE MONTH OF JUNE TO BRING YOU AN AMAZING CREATIVE COLLABORATION MIXING DREAMWEAVER STENCILS AND ART GLITTER. COME ALONG FOR THE RIDE...WE PROMISE IT WILL BE A SPARKLING ONE!
This is my creation for the week.  It could be considered a wedding card (the theme for the month) and is definitely a double glitter card.  Check out the technique with the link below.  I used Art Glitter Microfine Opaque 507 Black Wing on both the background and the words to give them nice, crisp edges. The gorgeous background stencil is LJ 899 Petals Background. The word is stencil  is LS 22 Congratulations.  I used LJ 918 Open Cross with my new "Triple Glitter" technique.  The open areas on this are just perfect for the technique.  It is started the exact same way as the Double Glitter Technique, but I call it Triple Glitter because I included one extra layer of glitter.  First, I laid down the Art Glitter Dazzlers D4 Jackpot Funky on the adhesive paper.  This is a little different than the last time, because this particular Dazzler has many different sized pieces already.  I still wanted to add some sharpness to the edges.  Therefore, I put a little Art Glitter Microfine 516 Gold Tone right on the stencil and pushed it into the openings with my finger.  I brushed the excess off completely before removing the stencil and adding Ultrafine Transparent 85 Crystal to the background.  I used this beautiful clear glitter behind all of the stencils.  Because the Dazzler has some much larger glitter pieces on it, it is extremely flashy.  The best way for me to illustrate this is to show you a second picture where it appears that the gold glitter is a completely different color.  Take a look.


I hope you become inspired to try this great technique for yourself.  It is really easy and addictive.  The best part about it?  The sale listed below includes most of the Dazzlers, too!  But act quickly, because the sale ends Saturday.
