Amazon Finds for Shimmer Technique.

To be honest, today’s project started out a bit of a mess. Not only could I NOT get the technique to work – all that Secret Sea ink was ALL over me. Once I figured out a technique and had a card I liked, I realized it would take way too long to do at my in person Stamp Camp…which was the reason I designed it in the first place!

Never fear – the final result is much quicker and just as beautiful.

Here you go:

Don’t you love that this is a project that combines so many various elements that are not sold ‘together’ – our products can be mixed and matched in countless ways.

Both cards are pretty – the supply list below is for the non colored card. If you want to make the one with coloring (you won’t be disappointed) you can find the ink colors I used at the start of the video.

This one has no Designer Series Paper since the second arch would have covered it most of the way.

This one uses no Wink of Stella in the PEN but a generous coat of my Shimmer Solution to add the color to the wreath.

It’s amazing how the lightened version of Secret Sea is Cloud Cover!

Now that I figured out how to get all those deep colors in to the grooves, I may give the Sunflower folder another go. So many ideas and literally not enough time to make them all!
