Last weekend there was a demonstrator gathering however, due to the Hamilton Christmas Extravaganza, I didn't attend. Instead I sent my swaps along and got some really lovely ones back.

You may recognise my swaps, they are a card to go with the Sparkling Dasher Gable Box we made at last month's workshops...

Stamps: Dasher (wood: 121592), Lovely As A Tree (wood: 116388), Curly Cute (wood: 121500, clear: 120510), Sparkling Stampin' Around Jumbo Wheel (116444). Card/Paper: Soft Suede (119982), Real Red (106578), Whisper White (106549). Ink: Real Red (103133), Soft Suede (115657), VersaMark (102283). Accessories: Frost White Shimmer Paint (116854), Basic Pearls Jewels (119247), Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder (109130), White Stampin' Emboss Powder (109132). Tools: Scallop Trim Corner Punch (118870), Scallop Trim Border Punch (118402), Emobssing Buddy (103083), Heat Tool (106586), Sponge Daubers (102892), Stamp-a-ma-jig (101049), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430). Techniques: Shimmery Emboss Resist.

The dasher image was achieved by using the Shimmery Emboss Resist technique:

1. Stamp Dasher image using VersaMark on Soft Suede and clear emboss.
2. Using a dauber, evenly rub Frost White Shimmer Paint over the card stock. The embossed image will resist the Shimmer Paint.
3. Apply the Frost White Shimmer Paint into the tree-scape image from Lovely As A Tree and stamp over Dasher.
4. The embossed Dasher will resist the Shimmer Paint so, once the Shimmer Paint on the card stock is dry, rub Dasher to remove the Shimmer Paint.
