painted poppies in red shimmer

Another sample using the Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics – this sample uses the red sample.

Base:
Real Red cardstock: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White: 4″ x 5 1/4″ die cut edge with the
Basic Borders die set
scrap for sentiment piece

Die cut the right edge off the 5 1/4″ side of the Basic White cardstock layer. (I used the edge I cut off for the card I posted on Monday and this was the left over piece!) Stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black the line of poppies from the Painted Poppies (#151599) across the bottom of the 4″ side of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece.
Using an acrylic block for your artist’s palette, p-lace a drop of red Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics (#156310) and apply a drop or two of water from a Waterpainter (#151298)

Using the Waterpainter, paint the flower petals with the red enamel.

Using the cap, tap the Waterpainter on the cap over the cardstock to flick paint spots onto the paper.

Stamp the sentiment onto the largest banner die from the Stylish Shapes die set (#159183) from the retiring Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

With a blending brush (#153611) and a Real Red stamp pad (#147084) apply ink to the brush and starting off the paper in circular motions apply color to the sentiment piece of acrdstock.

Using the Pearlized Enamel Effects straight from the bottle make a heart shape on the sentiment banner die cut. The enamel is thick and adds depth and dimension when adding it direct to paper in dots or shapes!

Adhere the Basic White layer to the card base leaving a border on the right and left sides.

Pop up the sentiment on the upper center.

Add Black and White Gingham ribbon (#156485) to the left edge of the card and it is complete!

See the shimmer that the Pearlized Enamel Effects gives this card? So Pretty!

A simple card with lots of shimmer and dimension brings it up a notch!
Try your hand with this fun enameled effect and create some art of your own – one stamp and one effect at a time!

Happy Stampin’
