{Spotlight Project} Becca Does Heavy Metal

It's a blizzard! Here in North Dakota we FINALLY have some snow on the ground and I celebrated by holing up in my craft studio and playing with my favorite thing - GLITTER. 

Today I'm going to show you how I made this textured metallic background to create a one-of-a-kind holiday showstopper. 

I took a piece of heavyweight cardstock and covered it with silver Texture Luxe by Faber Castell.

Next, I used a heat tool to dry the paste, allowing it to bubble and crack in areas. 

I added a layer of pearl Texture Luxe through the ARTplorations Confetti Circles stencil. 

And then I sprinkled it with GLITTER!!!

I embossed the wreath from the Joyful stamp set and colored it in with Spectrum Noir markers. 

I stamped a sentiment using some of the words from the set to finish out my look. 

Eep! So little time to write in these babies and send them off!
