JoAnne's workshop is this Saturday and she wants me to showcase chipboard, so I decided to work on a monogram card for it. That way everyone can choose the letter they want for their card. The Happy Birthday card I made for my hubby here shows how you can cover chipboard with designer series paper. For today's card, I inked the "B" with tempting turquoise ink and then cover it with versamark, so the iridescent ice would stick to it. Once I heated it up.....Sparkles! Love that iridescent ice!
Then I wanted to play with the Smooch Spritz on page 195 of the catalog to see the monogram letters with these pearlized accents. I wish you could see these in person, because the pictures do not do them justice.
Here is the Vanilla Shimmer:
The chipboard letter is gray, so the vanilla smooch makes it the perfect color.
Here is the Log Cabin:
Oh, My! This is my favorite! It is the perfect color of bronze. I can't wait to use this spritz for my fall projects.
I almost forgot....see the speckled background on my card? I used a new toy (for me) from Stampin' Up! It is called the color spritzer tool. This is what it looks like:
The Color Spritzer tool can turn a Stampin’ Up! marker into an airbrush. Use this technique to create beautiful airbrushed effects. It’s great for card making, scrapbooking, and all types of paper crafting. This is a must for your creative "tool belt!"
■ PVC bulb with an insert for placing a marker with adjusting screw nozzle
■ Black with matte finish
■ Easy to use
■ Marker not included
■ PVC bulb with an insert for placing a marker with adjusting screw nozzle

This is so easy to use. You just slide your marker into the holder and tighten just a little. Then squeeze the bulb to create airbrushed effects on your project.

Your class is going to be so happy when they see this project. It totally ROCKS. I must say that I just adore my color spritzer tool. It's fast and simple to use - not to mention the great effects that it gives. Well done, my friend.
