This is one of those really good reasons why we make cards and are stampers.
The light isn't very good in the evening, but maybe you can see a neat technique I tried tonight with some acetate. For the challenge, I wanted to incorporate both brown and blue snowflakes, but the problem was, how to fit them both in? I also find clothing without people a bit creepy actually, so I needed a person in this card and the little girl is for Hannah. So for the blue snowflakes I took some acetate, stamped the snowflake using versamark Frost, then sprinkled Heat and Stick powder on, it melts really fast. Then you can sprinkle whatever color glitter on you like and the frost versamark gives it a nice sheen in addition to the glitter. Cool, huh? One word of warning, even the little bit of heat you use to melt the H&S powder will fuse the acetate enough so that a circle punch will absolutely not cut through it . . . ask me how I know.
Thanks for looking.
