Bring on the Shine


Bring on the Shine with Shimmer Relief Paste 

When you want a shiny background with more texture, reach for your shimmer relief paste. 

1. Just apply the paste with a pallet knife and let it dry. Letting it dry well is the key. I learned the hard way but was able to cover my flaws. 
2. Run the shimmered card stock through an embossing folder and you have a great card panel already. For a wedding card, a simple white embossed card with shimmer and a sentiment would be enough. 

3. To add color, use alcohol markers. 

4. For more shine, add some sequins. These sequins with flower shapes worked perfectly. They also covered a few places where my still damp paste stuck to the embossing folder! 



 Supplies:

Altenew Shimmer Relief Paste in pearl, fancy hello die, Cherry Plum Blossom 3D embossing folder, alcohol markers
