Hello!
I’ve been having so much fun with Craftangles glimmer pastes this month!!
I also decided to play with the Tiffany inspired colours..aqua, white, gold and black.
Here is what I came up with!
For my first card, I started out by stencilling a cardstock panel with Tim Holtz ‘Cracked Pistachio’ and Craftangles ‘Gold Dust’ glimmer paste and the Craftangles ‘dots’ stencil.
I then die cut the word ‘Happy’ using the Winnie and Walter die and created a simple shaker card, filling it with Craftangles ‘clear shimmer’ sequins.
I added a stamped and fussy cut Altenew layered rose to add some colour. I finished the card with a white heat embossed birthday sentiment on black card.
Its hard to photograph the gold glimmer, but the card looks really pretty.
For the next two cards,
I started out by creating two patches of card using
Craftangles ‘Gold dust’ glimmer paste and Tim Holtz ‘Cracked Pistachio’ distress ink.
I did this in order to use these panels to die cutting.
This is an idea I learnt from my co DT Deepti Stephens in an earlier post.
You can see her post here.
For the second card, I started by creating a card panel using
I used the gold glimmer panel I made to die cut the Flora and Fauna
Volkswagon beetle car. I also die cut the same using some craft foam,
which I used to give the card some dimension.
I then encircled the car with the My Favourite Things Happy birthday die cut, cut from
Cratangles Aqua cardstock.
I finished the card with a white embossed sentiment on black cardstock.
Again, its hard to photograph the glimmer, but its Oh so pretty!
For the last card, I was inspired by this card I saw on Instagram.
I loved the look of layered balloons and decided to try it myself.
I used the aqua and gold glimmer card stock I created to die cut the balloons (From Lawn Fawn) .
I further inked the aqua balloons to add some dimension.
I prepared the card panel using Craftangles ‘stripes’ stencil and Craftangles ‘Charcoal’ texture paste.
Once the panel was dry, I adhered the balloons and the sentiment (from Simon Says Stamp) and finished the card with some shiny black sequins.
I really love how these cards turned out..I hope you like them too.
Thanks so much for stopping by..
Have a great day!

I love the way you have used the shimmer paste. All the cards are very different and gorgeous.
This cards are Awesome !!I loved the shimmer on all of them..it's no overpowering but adds to the beauty of the backgrounds.
Thank you so much!
