Something Saturday - DSP & Blends

 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off an idea that Claire our Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Development Manager showed us in a workshop the other day, I took it a bit further in one of my cards, let me know which card is your favourite! If you'd like to see all the goodies I used on these cards click here:  DSP & Blends Turtles Cards Here are the cards I ended up creating The first 2 I've just used the blends to go round each of the images on the designer paper, I really love the way the images get highlighted from it, almost a "stained glass effect" This first card I also used the blend on the white card base under the Designer Paper to give a border This second card I used the Blend around the edge of the Designer paper to draw a line  (I did use a ruler to do this!) again to create a border.

Something Saturday - What you can do with the Enamel Effects

Well I've been working on it for a while but finally here it is (a non-exhaustive) compilation of what you can do with the Enamel effects and here is the cute little roundup of bottles:

First up there are 2 Packs of these, one is Metallic and one Pearlized (check them out with the links) they're both packs of 3 and cost $27 for the pack.  NOTE WELL: they are NOT water soluble, as I discovered after allowing some to dry on my silicone mat!  A couple of factors seem to change drying time, temperature (when its colder it seems to take long to dry), and how thick it is applied obviously affects it.  Having said that we used it in class the other day to create dots on our project and the cards were dry by around 15 mins.

 In the video I show off (not in this order):

You can mix them with Isocol to create a spray (looks like a starry night on dark cardstock)

You can squeeze them onto mini glue dots and create your own sizes of pearls with built in sticky backs 😍

you can also write with them!  I recommend shaking the bottle down to the tip first.

and I thought you might like to see the card I made up with the above saying, I fancied making one with the little critter holding the camera in Zoo Crew😁

 I was thinking that it could look good too if you had a large saying and highlighted parts of it with enamel effects.  I'll have a go at that when I'm back home after our holiday.

Anyway if you missed the video here it is:

 


I hope this inspires you to buy some and have a go too!

God Bless love
