Stickers and glitter

I am back after a very long hiatus. Much longer than I intended! Recently my Yahoo Group Card Camp held a retreat in Kissimmee Fl. We rented a house in Kissimmee Fl for 4 nights and 7 members of the group attended. We focused on techniques both re-visiting old ones and learning new ones.. It was all very casual and a lot of fun and we plan on doing it again next year! If you would like to join the Card Camp group you can click on the

One of the techniques we learned was the burnished velvet technique using peel off stickers with microfine Glitter Ritz.

I used the Warm Highlights Glitter Ritz and colored the glitter with Copic markers. The leaf peel offs are by Elizabeth Designs.

Pretty Peel Offs

This is a sample card I  made for Dutch Paper Crafts using peel off stickers. You can find the stickers HERE

I used both the positive and negative of the stickers on this card. The stickers come in a strip. To get the frame effect cut 4 pieces the size you wanted your frame to be then on a cutting mat lay the stickers down using the markings on the mat to keep them square, overlapping at the corners. With a craft knife and ruler cut from the inside to the outside corner at all four corners and then removed the excess. The stickers peel off the mat easily and I assembled the frame on the cardstock.

To pick up a negative flower from the sticker sheet  used a piece of Scotch 'invisible' tape (not the shiny kind as it is too sticky) Burnish the sticker with your finger to make sure that the tape is stuck to all the pieces and then transfer the pieces to your cardstock burnishing to get the pieces to stick and remove the tape.
I used a sentiment from Just Rite Forever Friends set stamped with Versamark and embossed with silver embossing powder.
