Today's post is on a card I made about a couple of weeks ago. I know this is going to sound rediculous (maybe) but I just recently bought the cricut expressions 2. I just couldn't let go of my old cricut, I felt like a traitor cause I really didn't have a problem with the old. But the new one can do a lot more. When I got it up and running I was playing and cut out one of the cutouts from the preloaded cartridge (couldn't find the name). I really like this cutout its so pretty and it reminded of a vintage look. I think it's gonna be one of my favorites, its so versatile.
Today's card also shows a technique that uses glitter with a metal stencile. I was going through Youtube and thought I would try out this technique and it really does work.
Directions:
So what you do is get a stencile, rub some natural soap (I used mineral soap) on the back of your stencil and place it on sticky paper.
Then you get the choice of glitter colors you want to use and sprinkle the glitter on top of the stencile. I patted down a little with my fingers just to make sure glitter sticks.
Once I finished sprinkle my glitter onto the stencile I shook off the excess and then took removed the stencile. Whaaa Laaa - finished look. For further instructions go to Youtub - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OssXP2TazE this should take you to
HERE is how I made my pearls to match the flowers - I took regular pearls, covered with the glue below and then used the MS fine glitter and sprinkled on them. Let dry for at least 30 to 45 min. just to be sure they dry thoroughly. They turned out awesome.
Great idea about the colored pearls. Love your card and your blog!

ReplyDeleteOK Let's try that again LOL
ReplyDeleteThat turned out beautifully! I wish I could say I loved my cricut but I just don't. I have two and am considering selling them on ebay I dislike them so much. I guess maybe I'm just mad at them over the lay suit thing...any way. Great job and I hope you use your expression a lot! :)
