The Group of Seven Cardmakers are trying out painting with glitter on acetate. Our website suggests two different methods. I chose the one described in this video and made this card:
Then working from the back, I used a clear-drying glue and
glitter to colour the poppies.
When you first turn it over, it just looks like white blobs of glue from
the front - it needs a few hours for the glue to completely dry and
turn clear, and then you can see your lovely colours of glitter.
I die cut three layers of the frame, glued two of them together and glued the acetate layer on top of them, and then added the third one to frame it. This raises it slightly from the card base and gives a bit more of a see-through quality to it.
If you're interested in getting covered in glitter (as I was) and making a glittery mess of your craft desk (ha ha), please give one of our techniques a try and link it up at Group of Seven and inspire us some more!
Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black
Ink - StazOn Black
Paper - white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - acetate, glitter, MFT pierced dot frame
Beautiful card Susan!! LOVE the two-tone colours of your lovely flowers. Glitter is definitely messy to work with, but so worth the clean-up when you end up with a gorgeous card like yours. xx
ReplyDeletewhat a great floral stamp with the sweet little baubles on the stems Susan! Great job stamping/embossing and glittering! It looks lovely in the layered white framing! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful combination of glitters, such a pretty card ♥
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your glitter all landed in the right place, Susan! Gorgeous poppies! I'm impressed with the two colors of the blooms!
ReplyDeleteYou get the A+ on this one, Susan! It is a beautiful framed work of glittery art and I love how artistic you using two different colors of glitter for the flowers! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI echo the other comments about using two shades of color glitter on your poppies. Those stems are so delicate and this card is awesome. I do identify with your last paragraph and add hair, carpet, tools and shoes to the mix.
ReplyDeleteI just adore the way you used two colours on your poppies which flow beautifully from one colour to the next Susan, and the triple layer pierced frame with the acetate sandwiched between works brilliantly with these wonderful poppies. x
