Babe: Playing with Glimmer Paste & Distress Oxides

Babe: Playing with Glimmer Paste & Distress Oxides

simple cards at cathyzielske.com

I’ve been seeing a lot of glimmer paste showing up on the old Instagram of late (this card caught my eye, and this one, too!) and thought I would give it a go and create a simple Valentine’s Day card for the hubs.

There is no rule that says you can’t give a man a shimmery card, at least not one that I know of. Plus, I call him babe a lot, so it’s all going to work out fine. This design is pretty clean and simple at its core and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I love a popped up white panel on a white card base!

I also created a simple little square envelope out of an A2 sized one, a little trick I learned from my friend, the one and only Gina K. Designs!

Here is the video showing you how I created this card project:

Thanks so much for stopping by! I’d love to have you subscribe to my YouTube channel for more card and scrapbooking videos.

    Like this glimmmer paste technique. Never thought to create a color by using inks in the background.

    I love it!! It’s a little late to buy the glimmer paste for Valentine’s Day, but I’m definitely going to get some. And as always, your simple sweet style blows me away. Thanks, Cathy
