Shimmery & Embossed Happy Birthday!
I just ‘had’ to play in the Technique Lover’s Challenge today at SCS … TLC185. This cool technique is fully explained in the forum by Lynn Mercurio (Lynn in St. Louis). The short explanation is to use a stipple brush to pounce colors and Lumiere paint onto a transparency. After thorough drying time, emboss the transparency with any dry embossing folder. (I used my Cuttlebug and the Happy Birthday folder.) Voila! You now have a super shimmery, dry embossed transparency to use as a whole on your creation, or cut to the size that you need. The look is very captivating in person!
I chose Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red reinkers for this technique, as I wanted to use the SU Bella Rose paper for my project. The monogram is from one of my favorite stamps of all, the C-45 JustRite Monogram stamp, using the ‘Special Occasions’ font, all from The Stamp Castle! Since the dry embossed area already shares the “Happy Birthday” greeting, a simple change of the monogram letters and this card is ready for anyone!
