Hi Ciao Bella followers! Wow! I don't know where I've been this past month, but I hope I had fun wherever it was! I can't believe it's been this long since I've posted anything. I must have been busy (and I hope I figure out what it was.). So, my apologies to m'ladies and here's a set of cards to go along with that apology.
We've been using quite a bit of the micro fine glitter at the store and I had to run a few more of these classes to keep people happy. Not that it was a drudge -- believe me, I loooove working with this product by Elizabeth Crafts. It's the smoooooothest, finest glitter anywhere. There's a certain technique involved when doing these cards and it involves very wide tape, transfer tape, peel-offs and, of course, glitter. Here's a look at both the cards:

For those of you who are not familiar with this technique, it's called Burnished Velvet. I always get a kick out of my students when they start to burnish the glitter and you always get the same reaction: "oooh! look at that sparkle!". While it's a bit time consuming to do the larger image, it's still a really fun project to do because it's like a puzzle revealing itself one piece at a time, but unlike a puzzle, you have complete control over what goes where. It is such a fun techique! The purple card was done using one of the smaller images in the peel-off package. Here I used a square scalloped (Spellbinders) backing to show it off and I used the same technique using my wide tape and the Glitter Ritz glitter. It was topped off with a lovley quadruple loop bow made on my Craft-Dee BowZ bow maker which you will find on my other blog.
Here's a close-up of the larger "slipper". Hopefully, you can see how fine the glitter is and how it sparkles in a "hushed" way, so to speak. You'll notice how I left a lot of the black peel-off in place to mimic patent leather. Click on either image for a close-up.
Well, I hope you'll forgive me for my lapse in time and that you have enjoyed these cards.
Ciao for now!
Ciao Bella!
