This is a fabulous card for Fall featuring the Autumn Accents Bigz Die leaves and a cool technique called Burnished Glitter! Connie Collins, a current Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team member, shared this awesome technique on her blog Constantly Stamping.
The photos of the cards don't adequately capture the glistening you see on the leaves in person! I will warn you that it's a little messy (you'll have glitter everywhere!), but the finished effect is worth it!
I love the sheen of the leaves! You can't see it well, but I stamped a Dictionary background in Early Espresso on my 3-3/4" square Early Espresso card stock. It's matted on a 4" square Pumpkin Pie piece.
Burnished Glitter Technique—You'll need Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets and Orange Glitter for this technique. Connie has a Burnished Glitter Video to show you exactly how it's done, but here are the step-by-step instructions.
- Optional: Stamp a background on your card stock first.
- Die-cut your Autumn Accents shapes from Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets.
- Arrange your die-cuts, then apply them carefully to the card stock trying not to touch the adhesive. Burnish down the adhesive, especially on the edges, then peel off backing paper.
- Pour on Orange fine glitter over the adhesive. Dump the excess back into the jar.
- Using your fingertips or a Bone Folder, rub over the glittered images in small circles until you see the gliter begin to change color. You're simply smoothing out the glitter particles.
- Dust off your card stock with a brush, then wipe away any remaining flecks of glitter with an anti-static cloth (like Swiffer sheets) or Core'dinations Dust Buddy.
I finished my focal point with a strip of frayed Burlap Ribbon adhered with Sticky Strip, and some 1/8" Early Espresso Taffeta Ribbon.
I used the Postitively Chevron pattern for the background on this one—I like it! I mounted my leaves on a Very Vanilla card base with a 2-1/2" x 5-1/2" strip of Crumb Cake to match the Burlap.
The sentiments from both cards are from Lots of Thanks.
Complete Supply List:
- Stamps—Lots of Thanks (wood), Dictionary (wood) card #1, Positively Chevron (wood) card #2
- Ink—Early Espresso Classic Ink
- Paper—Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla card stock
