Here are the other two cards I featured in the S
tampin' Addicts Birthday Blog Hop - Techniques. I used
Shimmer Paint in a variety of ways to create my projects and I want to share a few more details of the cards I created. For these cards, I used Direct to Rubber techniques. Then I have another technique using Shimmer Paint to share with you on Friday with two new cards!
I applied
Frost White Shimmer Paint directly to the rubber of the cone flower and grass images from
Inspired by Nature 
stamp set. Each time you use the
Shimmer Paint, you should shake the bottle. Then I use a
Sponge Dauber to pull a dab of the ink from the inside of the lid and tap, tap, tap it onto the rubber of the stamp to get nice consistent coverage. Then stamp it onto your cardstock - dark cardstock, such as the
Basic Black that I used on this card works great to give a good contrast for the
Frost White and the
Platinum Shimmer Paint. The
Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint is a bit more translucent and doesn't give as much contrast for this particular technique. You can also add
Reinker to the
Frost White Shimmer Paint to create your own color of
Shimmer Paint to use with the
Direct to Rubber technique.

Recipe:

Here is the final card I shared during the
Blog Hop, using
Frost White Shimmer Paint and
Watercolor Wonder Crayons with
Two Step Stamping. Again, this is a
Direct to Rubber technique where I applied both the
WW Crayons and the
Shimmer Paint to the rubber image and then stamped.
I used the
Regals collection of
Watercolor Wonder Crayons and scribbled the color onto the solid

flower, butterfly and leaf images from
Awash with Flowers stamp set. Then I added a light layer of
Frost White Shimmer Paint using my
Sponge Dauber and stamped this onto the
Whisper White cardstock. For the detail line image for the outside of the flowers, butterflies and leaves, I stamped in the corresponding
Classic Ink pad. I also added
Shimmer Paint to the
Night of Navy Classic Ink on the
Happy Birthday sentiment from
Afterthoughts stamp set, a
Level I Hostess Set.
