Card using WOW! Embossing Glitter by Sharen Grimsley

We had a wonderful Make N Take this week with Sharen using the WOW! Embossing Glitter! 
ITEMS USED:
WOW!  Vintage Amethyst Embossing Glitter
WOW! Totally Teal Embossing Glitter
WOW! Vintage Wallpaper Clear Stamp
The Essential Glue Pad
Anti-Static Pad
Heat Gun

The first step in making this card is to rub an anti-static pad over the cardstock you will be using.  This is a very important step so that your glitter will only stick to what you want it to!

Second, cover your stamp with glue using "The Essential Glue Pad".

Then begin applying the embossing glitter!  To make this card, Sharen used a cascading method when applying the glitter.  To do this, turn the card up on it's side (with a sheet of paper or something else underneath to "catch" the excess glitter") and slowly pour the glitter onto your stamped image.  Pour as much as you like with the first color, and then switch to the second color to get this two-toned effect. 

Lastly, use your heat gun to finish the embossing process.

Karen used the NEW Bo Bunny "Primrose" Collection to make this elegant layout using photos of her precious grand daughter.



She also made use of her Silhouette CAMEO to cut out the letters and the Spellbinders Nestability "Timeless Rectangle" die to make the frames seen in the sample photos.

Karen "fussy cut" some of the butterflies and double layered them to give them this 3D effect that really makes these pages stand out!
