2013 Technique Calendar - July - Blasted Stickles

You know how much I love glitter so I had to pull it out at least once for our calendar and today is the day.

I like to try to incorporate holidays for each month when I can and of course the USA has it's birthday during July and what a better thing to celebrate huh?   I know I used this technique on a calendar a couple years ago but I simply love it.

I originally tried this on white paper. It was nice but it just didn't have the impact I wanted so this time I switched it to black paper and oh what a difference ~

original example on white cardstock....

new example on black cardstock....



Here's all you do....

NOTE: I place my cardstock in a box lid so the splatter is contained.

Squirt a few blobs of Stickles on your cardstock.

 

Give each blob a quick blast of canned air.

You then add a few blobs of your next color, blast it with air and continue until your entire piece of cardstock is full of beautiful blasted Stickles!

 

 

Here is how my pennant looks before it's finished...

 

 

and a couple different views of the finished pennant calendar....

 

 

Beautiful isn't it? 

It's amazing what a difference the black cardstock makes.

Really adds so much to the design I think.

Well, how are you all coming on your calendars?

Good I hope!
