There are several videos linked up at CAS Mix Up to give you ideas. I chose to use a stencil with two colours of glitter.
CAS Mix Up lists this video using a brass stencil and several colours of glitter, but I used an acetate stencil and only two colours. See this video for the exact technique I used. It is much more glittery in real life - I had a really hard time getting a good photo.
The reindeer was stamped in copper ink and then die cut with the matching die. His back legs are glued down to the card and his body is popped up with foam tape to give the idea that he is leaping up into the starry sky.
Please come over to CAS Mix Up and check out the cards by the rest of the Design Team and our November Guest Designer, Robyn of Waterlily Cards by Robyn. You have until November 24 to link up your card. Please be sure it is clean and simple, includes stamping, glitter, and at least one of the "your choice options".
I'm also linking up to the new Jingle Belles challenge "Not a Creature was Stirring" - use animals on your Christmas card.
what a beautiful sparkly, starry sky your lovely reindeer is leaping across Susan! The white above and below the panel set off the color nicely! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteLove the technique and that leaping reindeer is fabulous. Gorgeous blue coloured background and love all the glittery accents x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sky, Susan! Love how the reindeer looks like is taking off in flight! Great use of this technique! It's one I want to try.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous, Susan! Thanks for the links too. What a fascinating technique. Now I wish I had more glitter colors to try this. Love how this turned out for you!
ReplyDeleteFantastic job of stenciling with glitter, Susan. I haven't tried that yet. It looks amazing, but I bet you have glitter EVERYWHERE! :) Love the leaping reindeer. xx
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! I love the design and pops of color in this!! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeletegorgeous Susan, I love the pop of gold with the blue.
ReplyDeleteSusan, Gorgeous glittery stencils background and stunning elegant stamped deer leaping into the sky:-) I love your colors too. I know what you mean..so difficult to photograph glitter, but I have no problem visualizing all the beautiful glitter on your card. TFS my friend. Hugs
ReplyDeleteWowza ... that is glittery goodness ... gorgeous holiday card. So very glad you joined our *creature feature* at Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteYou’re so brave to use two bold colours of glitter. I think my husband would divorce me if I started using this much glitter. Great work with this technique. Your glitter background looks incredible. Can’t wait to see this on in person, too. Fun idea to adhere just the back leg to the card and popped up the rest.
ReplyDeleteA great technique and so bright and pretty Susan, and I love the leaping stag over the top in the gold to match the sentiment. A wonderful card. x
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous, nice colour combination too!
