If you're coming from the blog of Sheila Bennett you're doing fine. It's one big circle and you can hop on and off at any point. There is also a link at the end of this post to a list of all the participating consultants.
I decided to go with a technique called the Split Negative. It's really quite easy and looks impressive when done. To get things started I cut snowflakes from page 21 of the Flower Market booklet. You have to cut a full snowflake of each paper so you end up being able to make two cards! Once the snowflakes were cut I lined them up on my Paper Trimmer to cut them in half. Then you make layers alternating the colors so they are opposite. HINT: it is easier to glue with Liquid Glass when layering to get other papers to stick to the glitter paper. I added a few sparkles and stamped the sentiments both inside and out.
If you don't have the Flower Market cartridge yet it would be a fantastic idea for a Christmas or Holiday gift! It would also make the paper crafter on your gift list very, very happy!

DeleteGreat use of the split-negative. I remember when we taught that embossing technique at a CTMH Convention. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheila! It brought back A LOT of memories!
DeleteI love the colors you used! The Sea Glass glitter paper really pops against the Peacock. I didn't have time to participate in this blog hop but I'm really glad that I stopped by your blog today. Thanks for inspiring me today!
