Second Life for a Dryer Sheet

I've missed stamping, I've missed blogging. So I'm treating myself to both again. I hope to have some readers, but for now I'll just enjoy the crafting and writing. Here is my welcome back project:

Yesterday I spent awhile looking for technique ideas and ran across the Glittered Dryer Sheet technique. Many, many years ago I'd done the same thing and stuffed a tiny drawer with used dryer sheets just so I could try it out but I never did. Packrat that I am, I still have that tiny drawer full of dryer sheets and finally put them to use.

This is an incredibly simple technique. Just stamp your image on whisper white cardstock. Let the ink set for a few minutes then cover the cardstock with a used dryer sheet and smooth it over the image. Then, sprinkle with Dazzling Diamonds glitter and press it into the glue. Shake off the excess, let it dry for awhile, trim the excess dryer sheet and finish your card. Stunning results, but very simple.

Ingredients: Stamps - Pony Pals and the party hat from Sock Monkey which found it's way into the wrong stamp box. Cardstock - Early Espresso, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White. Ink - Basic Black, Pretty in Pink, Wild Wasabi and Melon Mambo. Other - Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Aquapainter, Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo markers, Stamp-a-ma-jig and Early Espresso 1/8" taffeta ribbon.

Have fun trying this technique yourself, let me know if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help. I'll be back soon with more ideas.
