| Shimmery Pines (Founders Circle Swap) |
 |
| Its is easy to create lots and lots of these gorgeous, Shimmery cards |
I have been tickled pink and on cloud nine for the last few weeks. Ever since I returned from Founders Circle in Utah in September I have been getting tons of e-mails from all over Canada and the US with people asking me how I made my Founders Swap card - the super shimmery Ornamental Pine card.
The short answer is - it is super easy. Just Versamark and Iridescent Ice embossing Powder. But if you really want the whole scoop, take a few minutes and watch the video I put together for you.
To be honest, I wanted to make a video of this card anyhow, but the huge interest in it meant that I needed to make it sooner, rather than later.
So here it is folks. Enjoy!
And have a wonderful weekend. God Bless, ~Cynthia <><
Cynthia, thank you very much for sharing your tutorial. Your card is gorgeous! You should be very proud!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anna - it has been fun teaching this technique to so many others and helping my friends recreate this card!
DeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend!
God Bless, ~Cynthia <><
I loved receiving your card and even though you told me at Founders how to make it, I am happy to have seen the video because I forgot that you said naturals ivory. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Betty!! We mutually admire each others' card since I also used yours for a recent class I ran!
DeleteGlad you got to 'see' the card being made. Hope your weekend was wonderful and looking forward to seeing you in May in Hawaii? God Bless, ~Cynthia <><
gorgeous and so simple. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words Lucy. And yes - simple simple simple. But so effective. The best kind of cards! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! God Bless, ~Cynthia <><
DeleteThis is an absolutely stunning card Cynthia. We were fortunate to view it in real this weekend at Regina Conference as Gail brought it to share, giving you full credit of course. Stunning TFS
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathy! Gail told me she had shown my card (or one that she created to mimic it?) and said that it was well-received. I am just so glad that SU! came out with such a gorgeous image in the Holiday catalogue. I mean really? Is it possible to use this stamp set in a way that isn't majestic and beautiful? ;)
DeleteHope you had a wonderful weekend! God Bless, ~Cynthia <><
Thank you Kathy for an absolutely stunning and elegant card. I just signed up for your email/videos and can't wait to see your future designs and techniques. I much prefer the "simple" card designs like you've designed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words. I hope you continue to like what you see.

ReplyDeleteHI Donna - sorry I did not reply until now! Your comment went into a spam folder. But I just found it and sent it to the correct place.
DeleteSo very glad you like my card. It really is spectacularly shimmery i person, isn't it?. I have replicated it more times than I can say and it is just as gorgeous the 200th time as it is the first 2 or 3 times! Say hello to whoever your upline is (I see that you are out west but since we are one connected country, I suppose it could be anyone. Rosemary? Gail? Alanna? Susan? Eldonna? etc etc etc.....). At any rate, say hello to them on my behalf - and thanks for commenting here. Have a terrific evening and God Bless, ~Cynthia <><

Hi Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this beautiful card. I had resisted buying the Ornamental Pine simply because I have so many Christmas sets already! your card put me over the edge! :) I am pretty sure this card is the reason the Iridescent Ice EP is on backorder! LOL!
Thank you again - Fellow Demo - Lisa
Ha ha Lisa - this card is so beautiful in real life I am not surprised at all that iridescent ice is on back order!!
