Hello, friends! I’m passing by to share an eye-catching cardmaking idea featuring new Altenew Shimmer Relief Paste Colors.
I’ve always been drawn to adding metallic accents to my projects, and this time, I decided to go all-in, using the Shimmer Relief Pastes to colour all the components of this card.
Watch the cardmaking process and the new Shimmer Relief Paste Colours.
More than texture this is shine!
Card Recipe
- Craft-A-Flower: Daisy Spray Layering Die Set
- Lattice Blossoms Stencil
- Brass Relief Paste
- Antique Street Lamps Layering Dies
The Process
I used mainly Brass Relief Paste to add colour to this project, with a touch of Sea Beryl and Mayan Gold.
- I began by applying Shimmer Relief Paste to black and white cardstock using a palette knife.
Then let it dry for about an hour - Once dry, I die-cut the flower elements using the Craft-A-Flower: Daisy Spray Layering Die Set
– For the flowers’ petals, I used black cardstock coloured with Brass Relief Paste.
– For the flower’s centres, I used white cardstock coloured with Sea Beryl and Mayan Gold.
– I die-cut the stems out of Olive cardstock and added a touch of Mountain Pine ink for contrast. - Next, I glue all the pieces together.
- For the background, I used the Lattice Blossoms Stencil and Brass Relief Paste, and I let it dry for 30 minutes.
- I also added a die-cut sentiment made using a die from the new Creative Cuts: Antique Street Lamps Layering Die Set.
- Finally, I adhered everything together using liquid glue and dimensional foam pads.
That’s all for today.
