Dryer Sheet fun :)

I have not been very craft inspired these past couple of weeks, so I was making my way though some crafty type videos for ideas when I found THIS :). THIS is a fun technique video using dryer sheets.

I challenged my sister Barb and my sister in-law Judy to learn this technique with me.

As with any new technique it ran me through the hoops :). My first hiccup was using Easy Tack repositionable adhesive rather than something a little more permanent,  I needed to add some glue to stop the dryer sheet from ... re positioning :).

Then there is the glitter, always fun in my hands... my husband is quite fascinated that there is sparkles all the way down to the garage, and he is still not sure if he likes glittered garbage cans and recycle bins.

Anyway.. I sprayed the easy tack, laid down the dryer sheet then added the glitter. I let this dry then tapped of off the extra glitter, I went one step further and gave the panels a quick spray of sealer. I heat embossed the sentiment, added the flourish and finished with a wide sheer ribbon.

I love the texture, and all the fun sparkle, here is a close up picture. 

Please stop by Barb and Judy's blogs to see what they have created using this same technique.

Supplies: Natural White and black card stock, Designer Paper-Authentique, Technique Tuesday-Stems, ribbon, glitter.

I would like to try this technique with a winter scene, I will wait though until glitter no longer makes its presence known.. everywhere. Although it is fun to see the odd bits of glitter decorating my honey's face now and again.

Cheers,
Nina
