I recently bought some of the Nuvo Glitter Markers and loved the amount of shimmer in them. I also have some Spectrum Noir and Wink of Stella shimmer pens. Previously, I had only used them for adding colour to stamped or die-cut images but by scribbling some out onto a piece of acetate and then using a water brush to pick some up, you can create wonderful watercolour looking backgrounds that shimmer amazingly. This technique needs to be tried out as the computer/phone screens just don't do these atc's justice in the shimmer department. You can see a little better how much shimmer you can get in the one called "WTF" as I happened to catch it in just the right light. If you do this technique and there's not enough shimmer, you can use your clear shimmer pen over the top of the coloured areas to add even more clear shimmer as it won't affect your colours underneath. Try it... you'll like it. 😎
"Moon"...
(The shadow behind the bat over the moon is
created by raising the bats up with foam tape)
"Smile"...
(The skull is one of the pieces I made using
last fortnight's technique of Stucco Gesso)
"Different path"...
(The shadowing behind the bird is created by
raising the bird up on foam tape)
"Deeply Creepy"...
(Both the moon and the ghosts were added after
by stamping the shapes with Versamark, then brushing
Perfect Pearls in Pearl over them)
WTF?
This last one is from the Embossed Gloss Stamping class a couple of fortnight's ago, but this one has no stamping in the background. I just did the water/powders/embossing steps straight onto the gloss
card. I really wanted to use the die-cut shapes I had bought and these colours worked perfectly.
"Wish"...
