Technique Artwork Showcase: Glitter Paper/Shimmer Trim

Welcome to our monthly Technique Artwork Showcase (#ctmhallthatglitters)! Each month we feature a technique for you to enhance your skills or remind you of something you know. This month we're featuring techniques on using Glitter Paper or Shimmer Trim. There is SO much you can do so be sure to check out the album on our Artwork Showcase FB page! You can join the fun and add your project to the album, too!

I decided to use our new sunflower stamp set so I stamped with our Exclusive Ink: Intense Black. I stamped on Cardstock: Sundance, Evergreen and used TriBlend Markers to color: Lt, Yellow Blend, Coral Blend, Jade Green Blend and Jade Green Shades.

Now that my sunflower was stamped and colored I turned my focus to the Glitter Paper! I used Mocha for the flower center be stamping on the back of the Glitter Paper and fussy cutting it out. I created a background with Capri and Evergreen Glitter Papers. I matched up the edges and used the Thin Cut die (seen below) to create a sky and ground look. This was adhered to a card front from our Cards & Envelopes Value Pack (this is a great deal).

Because it's hard to use tape type adhesives on Glitter Paper I popped up the flower & stem with Thin Foam Tape.  For the sentiment I did use some Tombow Liquid Glue since it was directly on the Glitter Paper.

Be sure to check out the other ways to use Glitter Paper by going to our Technique Artwork Showcase album. #ctmhallthatglitters
