I'm hoping to write a really quick post tonight. Been a very long day and I'm trying hard to keep up with my homework for Clean and Simple 3 class.
It was my favorite day so far. Fabulous cards and ideas were shared and I really loved Stephanie's fun, glittery technique!
Today's lesson was all about textural effects. Stephanie showed us a different way of using glitter on stamped images and it is so cool looking! Here's my card, which is an almost total CASE of her's.
At first glance you see a bright, fun card but the cool part is on the balloons. Check out this close-up:
Isn't that so neat looking?! It's a technique where you capture the glitter underneath some clear embossing powder. The glitter stays put but still has it's shimmer - so fun! (I used Tim Holtz Distress Glitter.)
The images and sentiment are all from Simon Says Stamp. Sorry, I'm too tired to share the links. If you want to know, just shoot me an email.
Okay, I'm off to bed - gotta work again tomorrow and I want to be up early enough to at least read through day 10's lesson.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by! ♥

Great job Barb, I gotta get ahold of that sticky stuff!
Wow, that's so great! I had trouble getting the glitter on the second balloon to butt up against the first. There's a sliver of a gap but I cheated and took the photo at an angle so it doesn't look so bad, ha ha!
