Shimmery Lanterns

Today I am sharing a bright and shimmery card using Nuvo Shimmer Powders with the emboss-resist technique!  The stamped image I used for this project is rather large and I didnt want to lose any of the design elements so I created a 5" x 7" card to keep the entire image intact.

I stamped the lanterns image onto panel of watercolor paper and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder.

I taped the panel onto a hard board (I use cheap clipboards) and gently sprinkled the Nuvo Shimmer Powders to the embossed image. I sprayed with water and moved the board around to get the water to certain areas and then set it aside to dry. It will look like a mess but just leave it and you will be surprised how stunning they will look when it dries!

These are surprisingly quick to create, the longest (and hardest) part is waiting for the panel to dry. So get out those shimmer powders and play! The more you use them, the more you will get comfortable with how they work and the results are fabulous!
