Hi Friends! To say that I’m excited to be a guest in Ellen Hutson’s CLASSroom today would be an understatement!
The products I got to work with here are so super fun! The stamp set was like playing with paper dolls, the additional images work perfectly with the doll and with the two sentiments, you can’t beat it!
You may notice that I tweaked up the sentiment from how it comes in the set…be sure to watch the video to learn more about that.
I thought some paper piecing would be fabulous with this image and even used it with the bat. A bit of Delicata Gold stenciled on to the background made a subtle, yet still glitzy pop.
The real show-stopper here is the circle accent piece. Gold Mica Flakes embedded in Translucent Embossing Paste. oh, WOW!
In the video, I actually thought this wasn’t quite dry yet…see the white-ish part northeast of her elbow? That is just Mica Flakes with a bunch of Translucent Embossing Paste over them! It is dry, but turned a milky white color.
It’s always fun to play and experiment and find new ways to use any products you have. I hope you have enjoyed today’s tutorial and are inspired!
