This week at Jingle Belles we're creating with metallics.
Do you ever go craft shopping at the hardware store … if you don't … you should. Whenever my Dad comes to visit, there are always multiple trips to the hardware store. While he's looking for screws, bolts and picture hangers … I'm looking for things I can make into art.
Can you spot what I found for my card this week?
Duck makes a fantastic silver shelf paper liner. I attached it to a scrap of cardstock and die cut my tree. I fully intended to use the tree itself, but then I fell in love with the silhouette. (I just saw they make a glimmer shelf liner, so I'll be looking for that next)
I actually started this card with a messy piece of inky watercolor paper that almost went into the garbage. It was an experiment that failed (yep, it takes lots of fails to get to the good stuff).
I used Bo Bunny Silver embossing paste and a polka dot stencil to cover the green … except it didn't cover it as much as I hoped and still looked a bit blotchy. However, when I placed my die cut opening over it … suddenly I had a beautifully decorated tree. All I had to do was add a sticker sentiment and a piece of Eyelet Outlet Bling for the star, and it was done.
I do go shopping at a hardware store but I cannot bring my husband when I go. He won’t let me buy things for crafts!!! This is so FUN!!
