Stamping/Crafting Fests! > Winterfest 2020 Challenges and Chats
WF20 - Glitzy (2/1 - 2/9) WINNER ANNOUNCED
howdyheidi:
What I have appreciated very much about these fests over the years is that it pushes me out of my comfort zone to try new things, and things that I wouldn’t normally be inclined to do. When I was choosing my challenge, I first was going to do something that I do a lot, but then I changed my mind and chose a new technique.
This is an old one from Split Coast Stampers and here is the link: https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/glitteredstenciling/
You can do any of the variations shown.
SUBSTITUTION IDEAS:
I asked my husband what PVA Glue is and he said that Elmer’s Glue is PVA. You may be able to substitute that. None of my kids have this anymore, so I substituted with 3 of my pastes.
First I did Gesso with glitter, second I tried Deco Foil Gel medium and glitter, and because I realized that some of you may not have loose glitter anymore, I also did Whipped Spackle and embossing powder. I did wait for it to dry before embossing it. Embossing Tinsel would be a great substitution too. (I might be careful if using some glues with a heat tool, I wonder if they would burn).
I am hoping that this is something that most will be able to try, so let me know if you need more ideas for substitutions.
THERE WILL BE A SMALL RAK for this challenge.
1) Try any of the variations of this technique and take a photo and upload it in the gallery. It will help if you name it WF20 - Glitzy. Please link in this thread so I can find it.
2) If you make a finished card with the backgrounds you will get a second entry.
Ask any questions here! O0

Here are some backgrounds I tried, I know it isn’t a great picture but they all look neat. Especially the embossing powder, since it has the dimension of both the paste and the powder.
The second one with the stars was white glitter over the deco foil gel medium. I have to say that this one reminds me a lot of if you just did sparkle embossing powder. Not the same, but similar.

I tried something like this by mixing glitter in with paste

That would be a reasonable way to do it too! I didn’t find that my glitter came off easily, but if I was worried about that, encapsulating it would be a way to avoid it.

I have tried this before and I love it. I might try masking my image and then doing the paste and glitter this time. Thanks for the reminder!
