This week for Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #29 these are the colors she chose: Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point, Taken with Teal, Elegant Eggplant & Whisper White I would never, I mean never would have put these colors together before.  When I saw the colors I almost didn't want to do it, but I think a challenge is good for you and it gets you out of your comfort zone.  If you want to play along click here and it will take you to her blog. I used the All that Glitters stamp set by Flourishes , I think I'm going to use that set for my Christmas cards this year, I just love the ornaments.   I stamped all three ornaments separately, once in pumpkin pie, taken with teal & elegant eggplant.  I then colored them in with Copic markers that came close to the shades.  After I colored them in I cut them out and put Diamond Glaze over them.  Diamond Glaze dries clear and give it a glass like look.  The bracket looking chipboard was stamped with elegant eggplant (heat set it) ...

Today's technique lovers challenge (tlc186) over on SCS, is to use a background stamp and put glitter on it.  This is my preferred way of getting this look~ 1.  Stamp image with Versamark 2.  apply heat and stick powder (SU) 3.  Heat emboss 4.  Apply Dazzling Diamonds its a fine glitter by Stampin up (you can use whatever kind) 5.  Heat emboss again to set it. It makes a dramatic statement and really gives your card that Wow effect, it doesn't take that long to do.
