This is my final share in my Shimmer Paint Series. If you happened to miss my other posts in the series, you can view them by clicking on the following links.
I love the way this card turned out, with the vertical Fun Fold, so let’s get to it!
For this card I sponged the White Frost Shimmer Paint directly onto the stamp with a Sponge Dauber. Yes I know I’ve shown this Shimmer Paint technique already, but I just had to share this card, and I want to tell you how how you can add an extra technique to Shimmer Painting on stamps (Day 1). You can make any color Shimmer Paint you’d like, by spilling out a little of the shimmer paint onto your Silicone Sheet or a piece of waxed paper, then add a drop or two of your choice of Re-inker, depending on how dark you want it. Stir the ink into the Shimmer Paint, and then sponge it onto the stamp for shimmer in any color!
Now, onto the details for the Vertical Double Z-Fold card.
The Night of Navy card base is 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and 8-1/4″ then folded on the score lines “accordion style”. I ran the top and bottom sections of this piece through the Big Shot with the Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder. Next a 3″ x 10″ piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock scored at 4-1/2″ and 7-1/4″”. This also get’s folded “accordion style”. The Whisper White fold layer is attached to the Night of Navy layer as shown using Tear & Tape. The Night of Navy piece that the Dashing Deer image is stamped on is cut 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4 and the sentiment piece is 2-3/4″ x 2-1/2″. I left the center section of the Whisper White cardstock blank so that a personal note could be added there.
The Shimmer Paint techniques I’ve shared this week are just a small taste of what this gorgeous Shimmer Paint can be used for. A tiny bit of this paint goes a ling way and it dries pretty quick, so using it is a breeze. I hope you’ve enjoyed this week long series. If you have a suggestion of another product series you’d like to see, pop me a comment.
Supplies used on today’s card
I love your card !! I did try making this card, but I think you need to change the scoring measurement of the piece that measures 3 inches by 10 inches. I believe that it should be scored @ 4-1/2 inchesand 7-1/4 inches, not 6-3/4 inches.
Thanks so much Karee, you’re right! Thank you for catching that. I’ve just updated the post.
