I made these cards for Jan's WF14 Hangover Challenge–Diamonds Sparkle. http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&forum_id=22&thread_id=3273717. [twopeasinabucket.com] Jan, thank you for this challenge!
I have used these same products to paint images in the past (http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/gallery/member/108705-djc/1407246-painting-with-diamond-glaze-and-reinkers/), [twopeasinabucket.com] but I love the unstructured backgrounds on Jan's sample cards and the cards that others have posted to this challenge. Also, the addition of stamping on the tissue paper adds a lot to the overall design. I need to develop a lighter touch. I thought I'd used too much ink on the first one, but then I got carried away on the second one even more.
CARDS:
4 1/4“ x 5 1/2”
Card bases (not visible)–Bazzill and Stampin' Up
Mats–DCWV Glizty Glitter Cardstock Stack (The black in the regular stack is more of a very dark gray and is not very sparkly. That's the one I used here. The black in the Neutrals Stack is darker and has more sparkle.)
Grafix Dura-Lar, The Acetate Alternative, medium weight
Penny Black–Winter Glow! (poinsettia)
Cornish Heritage Farms–Fishnet Backgrounder
Staz-On Ink Pads–Olive Green (backgrounds and first stamping of the focal image on the first card); Black (both focal images)
Judikins Diamond Glaze
Judikins Prisma Ultra-Fine Glitter
Adirondack Re-inkers–Card #1–Shell Pink, Mountain Rose, Lettuce; Card #2–Red Pepper, Mountain Rose, Buterscotch, Meadow
The directions for making these are on Jan's challenge blog–http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/userblogpost.asp?id=74781. [twopeasinabucket.com]
CARD #1:
I read the directions a couple of times and then started my cards. On that first card, I stamped the image with Olive Green StazOn; and when the piece was finished, it didn't show up well enough so I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp over it with StazOn black. I forgot to add the glitter until after I had put on the tissue paper so the glitter effect is much more subtle. I actually like it that way. I wished that I had reversed the red and green colors; I wished that I had left more white areas.
CARD #2:
I had put down several circles of Diamond Glaze on the craft mat and added a drop of reinker to each and used them to color a poinsettia (not shown here because the color just squished beyond the lines (not in a good way) when I added the cardstock; maybe I'll cut it out later?) so I had all these puddles of colored Diamond Glaze. I used them to add color to this piece. It turned out to be way too dark. I did manage to add the glitter at the right point in the process, and it's much more sparkly than the first card.
I need to make more of these just to get a feel for adding the right amount of Diamond Glaze and re-inkers.
