Instructions:
Next, on our 2021-2023 In Color (Evening Evergreen) Shimmer Vellum piece we will do the Alcohol Technique.
Step by Step: Using a bit of removable tape secure your vellum sheet to a plastic Ziploc bag on your desk top to protect it.( you can use DSP backing sheets as well.) Begin scribbling randomly with the Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Blend onto the Shimmer side of the In Color Vellum. When you have the desired amount of color scribbles down, put a bit of 99% Isoproply Alcohol in the cap of the bottle, take your Water Painter Brush (empty of all water) dip into the Alcohol and dab onto the areas you have scribbled. It will start to dilute and run to make a cool design. Set aside to dry.
With Evening Evergreen Ink and the Sentiment from the Christmas to Remember Stamp Set, stamp on to your scrap of Basic White Card Stock, Then die cut out on the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Seasonal Label die that coordinates. Your Vellum Technique piece should be dry, Take tree pattern stamps from the Whimsical Trees Stamp Set and stamp in VersaMark right onto the vellum, Sprinkle with White Embossing Powder and heat set.
With the Christmas Trees Dies, cut out tree shapes in various sizes with the Cut & Emboss Machine. Apply Dimensionals to the backs of the tree diecuts and layer in the right hand corner of your card front embossed layer. Attach with a strip of Stampin’ Seal on the back side of your sentiment cutout your diagonally end cut White Glittered Organdy Ribbon, then apply Stampin’ Seal to attach whole cutout to your card front.
Decorate with 2021-2023 In Color Jewels in Evening Evergreen.
For the inside, run just the edge of the Basic White Card Stock thru the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Wintery 3D Embossing Folder (pine boughs). Highlight with a Blender Brush and Evening Evergreen Ink, ever so lightly.
