Make it Monday #301:
Matting with Glitter
Ooh, am I out of my comfort zone this week with the MIM challenge.

My roadblock for this challenge was the need for adhesive sheets which I have not purchased. When another challenge entry noted using score tape to create her mat, a light bulb turned on! Yay, I have a narrow-width score tape roll and also unused MS glitter. And the card below is the result.
I white-embossed a tree on PTI dotted vellum and adhered it to a previously water-colored
rectangle. I carefully applied the score tape to the edges and glittered away, combining both
baby blue and lime green MS glitters. Voila! a glitter mat for plain-old-card-making me to
share this season! I added fun foam on the back before mounting it on another water color
paper rectangle. This panel was adhered to an aqua card.

ReplyDeleteHi Vikki,
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful! I love the tree embossed on the vellum against your pretty background. The glitter frames it all so nicely.
Happy to visit your blog, what a gorgeous photo!
Love how you combined the 2 glitters for your mat, Vikki! The embossed tree is gorgeous, as is this card! Hope you're staying warm & dry--great crafting weather, right?!
