Die Cut Embellishment that look Acrylic

 Does that look like a real acrylic button to you?  It does to me!  But its a die cut from design paper!!  Tammy Louise is here to share this fun technique with you!  

I started with adhering some double sided adhesive sheet to the same design paper as used on the book mark (the best part of this technique!) rubbed in some glitter after cutting the die and removing the paper from the button top revealing the sticky part and dp beneath it and then rounded on the edges to create a beveled look.  Then the part that really makes it look acrylic is when I covered in a thick layer of glossy accents!  I ADORE this embellishment idea and LDRS creative has the perfect line of Creative Basic dies that when glittered and glossed up, become exquisite embellishments that will match PERFECTLY to your project!

If you too learn easier from video tutorials, I'll show you how I accomplished the process at the LDRS YOU TUBE CHANNEL so stop by and check it out!

Non traditional Valentine tutorial

    

Early Happy Valentine's Day!  Today I made a video tutorial as a Guest Designer with Whimsy Stamps.  I wanted to create a non traditional colored romantic card that SHE could give to HIM.  Several of the products used have a more masculine feel to them to begin with but they follow a very romantic feel to them that brought this project together beautifully.

The video tutorial is available on my You Tube Channel here . . . . . 

I had an opportunity to blend three water based inks together to color the project.  I used some wonderful argyle border and dot border stamps with a distressed blot.  The background stamps containing Love and Life and that wonderful Feather and Nib die. Watch how simple it is.
