Papertrey ink puts up a challenge every Monday, presenting a new technique each week. This week's challenge, glitter inlays, drew my interest immediately. As a rule, I loathe glitter, and only own some because it was given to me. But I loved the look and the technique. Simply put, one affixes a die cut to sticker paper and dumps glittr on it, to fill up the gaps. Check it out!
I am busy making cover elements for a journal making workshop I and a friend of mine are doing at our church in a few weeks (I'd love to receive long distance contributions for anyone who loves to make and give away thir artwork!). I went a little crazy with Papertrey's Hexagon Die a few weeks ago, using alcohol inks and mica cardstock. A few years ago, I made all my Christmas cards with it, forming quilt patterns. So when I saw this week's challenge, I knew what die I would use! Actually, I selected a premade cut from my alcohol inking I mentioned. I also used repositional adhesive paper in case I wanted to replace any of the hexagons. I will use this for a journal; as you see, the A2 size of the die works perfectly! I will make sure the sealer worked before actually affixing it to a journal cover, and I will probably create one in pink.
