Playing in Paradise Challenge 24: Coloring!

Another Playing in Paradise challenge is live over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog! This one's mine!

I completely thought I was going to do a project based on Copics but ended up trying something that I've been intrigued with for some time... Painting with Glimmer Mist!

I first heard of this through Maile Belles's post here (scroll down a bit). Such a gorgeous project!! I made my project so much simpler by using a negative background stamp... No worries about coloring outside the lines!!

(Since photographing this card, I moved the scalloped rectangle upwards to even out the layout a bit.)

After die-cutting a rectangle and scalloped rectangle, I stamped my negative background image with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with black powder. I sprayed some Viva Pink Glimmer Mist on my craft mat and used a paint brush to apply it to the flowers. I did the same thing for the stems in green Glimmer Mist. Any imperfections in the embossed background were then covered up using careful application of my Copic Multiliner pen.

I adhered the rectangle to the scalloped rectangle using my Xyron for perfect adhesive coverage. I wanted this to look like one piece rather than two.

Using a stapler, I attached the Glitz tulle to my card front, cut it and tied a knot. I attached a little paper rose and some twine to a button and hid the knot. A small stamped tag and some pins finished off my project.
