DEC11VSNO ~ Saturday, Dec 10, 10 pm ~ Winter Sparkles!!
Title: Winter Sparkles!
Hostess: LuvLee (Lee)
Keyword: DEC11VSNO
Day/Date: Saturday, December 10th
Time: 10:00 pm EST
Wintertime means snow and snow is SPARKLY!!!!! Winter is my favorite season and I just love snow!!!
My challenge is a Technique Challenge.....to make your entire image panel sparkle!! The technique is to use loose glitter to cover your panel. After you stamp and color your image (if you're coloring).....then you'll use your glue pad (Versamark is the brand I use) to completely cover the image panel so it's entire surface is sticky. I personally then sprinkle over the glue either Stampin' Up Heat-n-Stick or Judikins Sticky Stuff. After tamping off the excess, use your heat gun to melt the powder. Then sprinkle glitter on top and tamp off the extra.
Or you can just pour loose glitter directly over the sticky surface you made with the glue pad (Versamark) or even a thin layer of glue. That's it! Now you have a glittery image panel and can make your card!!
Since this is a specific Technique Challenge you will need to use loose glitter.....no Stickles or glitter glue.
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00PM EST ON MONDAY, December 12th.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put the correct keyword, DEC11VSNO, when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
4. Remember not to combine VSN challenges.
It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in this thread to be sure your card is seen.
My sample uses a cute new stamp I just got from I Brake For Stamps and I colored with Copics and then used the Glitter Technique.
I have to admit Lee, that the glitter looks so sparkly with the xmas lights hitting it~
Thanks for teaching me something I have never done before~versamark is my new best friend~

Baby, it's cold outside
I have heard of folks running their image upside down in a Xyron machine so that the sticky adhesive side is over the image and just sprinkling the glitter over that - I think I am going to give that method a try, I don't care for the smell of heat & stick powder and don't have the Judikins stuff.
