Hello, friends! It's Bibi Cameron here, and today I'm thrilled to share an easy but eye-catching cardmaking idea featuring the brand new Shimmer Relief Paste Colors, along with the gorgeous Craft-A-Flower: Daisy Spray Layering Die Set and the Lattice Blossoms Stencil.

I’ve always been drawn to adding metallic accents to my projects, and this time, I decided to go all-in, using the Shimmer Relief Pastes to colour all the components of this card.

Watch the cardmaking process and the new Shimmer Relief Paste Colors. in the video below.

Materials Used

• White and black cardstock.
• Die Cutting Machine
• Craft-A-Flower: Daisy Spray Layering Die Set
• Creative Cuts: Antique Street Lamps Layering Die Set
• Lattice Blossoms Stencil
• Shimmer Relief Paste – Brass
• Shimmer Relief Paste – Sea Beryl
• Shimmer Relief Paste – Mayan Gold
• Mixed Media Palette Knife Set

The Process:

1. I began by applying Shimmer Relief Paste to black and white cardstock using a palette knife.
   Then let dry for about an hour
2. Once dry, I die-cut the flower elements using the Craft-A-Flower: Daisy Spray Layering Die Set
   – For the flowers' petals, I used black cardstock coloured with Brass Relief Paste.
   – For the flower's centres, I used white cardstock coloured with Sea Beryl and Mayan Gold.
   – I die-cut the stems out of Olive cardstock and added a touch of Mountain Pine ink for contrast.
3. Next, I glue all the pieces together.
4. For the background, I used the Lattice Blossoms Stencil and Brass Relief Paste and I let it dry for 30 minutes.
5. I also added a die cut sentiment made using a die from the new Creative Cuts: Antique Street Lamps Layering Die Set.
6. Finally, I adhered everything together using liquid glue and dimensional foam pads

That's all for today.

I hope this simple cardmaking idea inspires you to get creative with metallic pastes! Don’t forget to check out the video for more tips and samples.

Happy crafting!
