Tape and glitter technique






I have been wanting to play with this technique for a while (since seeing it on Teresa Black's blog) I did two pages with this technique. I have decided, though, that it would look better on a smaller basis. When I cut out the big butterfly or the moon, the tape behind was all warped. If I had done smaller cut-outs, then it probably would have looked better. This first page was done with one of my favorite sets from CTMH. It was called Lazy Days of Summer. I love the cool greens and blues for my boys. I felt bad putting Dallin and glitter on the same page, but it goes in my book, not his...that's okay, right?? I needed a girl in this life, dadgumit! Anywho, the next page was inspired by a Technique Tuesdays catalog that I picked up at the scrap convention last fall. I cut the scrolly thingys out with my cricut cartridge Storybook. I like how the lil stars turned out. I just embossed them with clear embossing powder and then daubed ink over them with a sponge. Pretty fun. Now I have to go make my exchanges...with my updated info on the technique.
