Frosted Hearts

Published by Julia Stainton at 7:34 pm under Card Designs, Stamping Techniques

I had someone suggest the other day that I post reruns on my blog while I’m busy with my huge to-do list and the renovation. Well, I’m probably not going to do that but I did remember that I haven’t posted any of my Cards publication designs. I thought I’d share this one with you today. This design is from the February 2008 Cards magazine…

Frosted Hearts

I created this design with my hubby in mind. I just love this cool technique. I originally tried it out on a card design the last month I was on the SCS Dirty Dozen Design Team. The acrylic panel is from One Heart One Mind and I lightly sanded it with fine grit sandpaper. After sanding to achieve a frosted appearance…I stamped my hearts onto the acrylic surface with Versamark ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder. The embossing fills in the fine sanding and gives you a beautiful clear look. The patterened paper used to create this design is the beautiful Romantica Line from Prima Marketing. A simple layout and some stitching finish it off.

Wishing you a fabulous weekend!

    What an awesome technique! It reminds me of etching but without the pricey, stinky paste! So beautiful!

    What a very cool technique, J! I don’t think I’ve seen this before (or if I have, I’ve forgotten). Love it!
