Peace Cards | Melinda

Hello crafty friends,
Melinda here and I am super excited to share my cards with you today!

I created two cards featuring a variety of the beautiful Shimmerz Products!  They are both a finished size of A2, so they will fit in an A2 sized envelope. Of course they are a bit chunky with the dimensional Poinsettias.


For both, I started by creating the card bases. I then cut the bases out of some cream colored cardstock and then cut the titles and flower pieces out of plain white cardstock. I absolutely love to start with just plain white cardstock and see where these beautiful Shimmerz products take my projects! The only other non-white pieces are the flourishes and the Kraft paper background mat for the card on the right.


For this first card, here is a closer look at the beautiful poinsettias. I used a combination of the  and   the    to paint the poinsettias. For the smaller ones I just made the two layers two solid tones. For the large one, you can see I brushed the   on first and then added in the  darker shade.  For the leaves, I used the Olive You Only Shimmerz paint.  You can also see in the background that I stamped some tiny snowflakes using the tiny snowflake stamp from the     stamp set.  I then brushed on some of the Puttin’ on the glitz pasteez and brushed it horizontally to make the mat look a bit “snowy”.


Here’s a closer look at the peace title. I layered three of them together to give them some depth. I painted some of the Angel’s Kiss Inklingz onto the die cut. You can’t tell in the picture, but it has a very soft and subtle shimmer to it. Reminds me of a pearl like finish. The bottom outline layer has some Puttin’ on the Glitz dabbed onto it.


Here’s a closer look at the Poinsettias on the second card. I painted these the same as the other card. For the background on this card, I started by spraying some Jenni B Bleu Vibez onto the background. Once it was dry, I just brushed on some of the Angel’s Kiss Inklingz onto the background.
