Water Coloring with Metallic Wax

Hello everyone, I am sorry that it has been several weeks since my last post and video, but we lost my brother a few weeks back and it has been hard for me to get back to “work”. 

As you have come to know about me, I love my sparkle and shimmer and this card is no exception and I am going to show you how you can make a shimmering background from scratch using a water color brush, metallic wax paste and an embossing folder.  I will list all the supplies that I used below.  Here is the card we will be making.  Click on the photo caption to see the video tutorial.

Here is what you will need to recreate this card:

4 ¾” square piece of medium weight white cardstock

5” square piece of silver glitter card stock for matting the background layer

5 ½” square pieces of matte blue shimmer cardstock

5 ½” x ¾” strip of the matte blue shimmer cardstock

5” x 1” strip of the silver glitter cardstock

6” x 12” piece of heavy weight white cardstock, scored and folded at 6” for your card base

Water color paper to die cut your trees from

Large and Small Winter Tree Stamps & Dies by Chloe from Crafter’s Companion

Sparkling Snowflake 3D Embossing Folder from Crafter’s Companion

A sentiment of your choice die cut from silver mirror cardstock; I used Festive Words 1 from Crafter’s Companion for my sentiment

A die cutting machine for cutting your trees and embossing the folder

Liquid glue or tape runner, embellishment glue of your choice and some 3D foam squares

Versamark, silver embossing powder and an anti-static pouch

Heat gun tool

Acrylic block or a stamping platform

Embellishments of your choice; I used two star embellishment and three crystal jewels.  If you do not have star-shaped embellishments, you could cut star shapes out of silver mirror card instead.
