Spellbinders and Tattered Angels have come together for a blog hop!
I'm a scrapbooker at heart, so I created a layout for the blog hop event.
Aaron and I were married 10 years this past June. We decided to wait until the fall and go back to place we were married - Yellowstone National Park. (It's kind of a Wyoming secrect that there are hardly any tourists in late September - sshhh ;) We stayed at the Old Faithful Inn for a few of the nights, and had an entire week all to ourselves...no work, no kids (and I really love my kids), just us....it was so romantic and so peaceful.
Ok, enough of the mushy stuff...and on to the layout details....
The metal die cut:
I loved using the Tattered Angels Glimmer Screen Decorative Corners with Spellbinders die templates. The photo shows how I created the look. Use a typical embossing sandwich with the Glimmer Screen on the bottom.
Here are the steps: 1st -use S4-190 Labels Four (or your favorite nestability die template) and cut the shape out of metal foil using your Wizard. 2nd - place the Glimmer Screen on the white mat (I used the black paper under the screen so it would photograph better) then place the die, with the metal foil in it, on top of the screen. Next place the embossing mat, and the other white mat on top. Run it through the Wizard.
Embellishments:
I used limited edition Glimmer Mist colors jack-o-lantern and pashmina to dye 2 strips of white ribbon. I used pashmina mist on the tree branch also (the secret is to let parts of the branch sit in a puddle of glimmer mist overnight). I sprayed layers of various colors of Glimmer Mist on the fabric flower. Then I decided to create my own custom color of Flower Soft (the center of the large flower) by putting white flower soft into a container, spraying 2 colors of glimmer mist and allowing to dry.
Altered Paper:
I lightly sprayed a piece of 12"x12" white card stock with 2 colors of glimmer mist. Then used all 3 of the screens to stamp the glimmer mist onto the card stock.
Next, I tore 4 pages out of an old book, and experimented with ways to alter them. I lightly sprayed glimmer mist onto two of the screens and stamped them onto the 1st page. I embossed the screens on the 2nd and 4th pages using the Wizard and the embossing mat, then sprayed glimmer mist on the pages to add even more dimension. The 3rd page was created by applying white acrylic paint onto the glimmer screen, then stamping it onto the page. When dry, I sprayed glimmer mist over the page.
I hope you enjoyed the layout! I appreciate any comments you feel like sharing.
