As I show in the new video, it is very easy to create colorful backgrounds and pieces for die cutting by simply sprinking on Nuvo Shimmer Powders onto watercolor paper and spritzing with water. The colors are gorgeous and there is also mica in the powders so there is a pretty shimmer to them. After the piece was dry, I cut out Sue Wilson's Eternal Heart Tree, layered it on white and attached to the pink cardbase. "Sending Hugs" is also a die from Sue Wilson and Creative Expressions.
We don't have to use watercolor paper when adding Nuvo Shimmer Powders to a background. On this card I tried them on a suede paper and added masculine dies from a die set called Birthday Brewing from Sue Wilson for a beer loving guy I know.
One more fun technique I share in the new video is to create a resist with a background stamp embossed on a piece of watercolor paper with white embossing powder. I chose a stamp from Wendy Vecchi called Just Say It and then sprinkled on Violet Brocade, Meteorite Show and Solar Flare Nuvo Shimmer Powders. The embossed words resisted the powders and this card front was the result.
