Acetate and Glitter for Group of Seven Cardmakers

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

The Group of Seven Cardmakers have been using acetate and glitter this month.

Since Christmas is less than two months away (gasp), I chose to do

some Christmas cards.

I used the second video technique for both of my cards.

I stamped the design on heat resistant acetate and heat embossed it with white

embossing powder, making sure to keep the heat tool moving while I embossed.

Turning it over to the non-embossed side, I spread liquid glue over a couple of the

petals and used a cotton swab to smoosh the ink around.  Then I sprinkled a heavy 

layer of glitter over the top, shook it off and returned the loose glitter to the container.

I repeated the process with the rest of the petals and leaves.

What I like about this technique is that the glitter side in contained between the

acetate and card front so there is less glitter spread all over the studio and me.

I'm still sparkling!

I was brave and tried another....

This card was done with the same technique but the glitter has some silver sparkles

mixed in.  My friend Nance had given me several jars of these sparkles.  The glitter

is blue and the silver took on all kinds of colors in the photo.

Some backgrounds from my UFO box worked perfectly for showcasing the designs

and I was happy to get some more out of that box.

Corralling the glitter and keeping it from spreading all over the house was a challenge.

Getting photos of the sparkle of the glitter and the shine of the acetate was an 

even bigger challenge.

Head over to the Group of Seven Cardmakers website and see what the

other six ladies have done.  There are links and directions for this technique over

there as well as a linky if you decide to try it along with us.

I hope to see your sparkle!
