by Els for Elizabeth Craft Designs "Just some pendants that I made with pieces of Shimmer Sheetz that I used for samples and pieces some ladies alcohol inked in class and didn't like and those ones will always turn out good. Have little faith in me ladies:)! You are sorry now:)! One of those is the one in the middle with the red on one side. She thought [it] was a mess?"" . . . it is black card stock, our Be Creative tape on both sides of the card stock. Alcohol ink a piece of Shimmer Sheetz. Take the release from the tape and stick the Shimmer Sheetz to both sides of the card stock. Die cut the big oval first and then put the big oval on the other die and die cut the smaller two out of the big one. Punch holes for the bail or jumpring. Emboss the pieces separately so you can 'choose' your pattern. Any embossing folder will work for this. Then you take a sanding block and sand the pieces. This will bring out the 'core' of the Shimmer Sheetz and for the Gemstone colors it is silver and that is what I used for most of these pendants. Then you put it together and you are done. Writing this almost takes me longer then to make the pendant. It is really, really easy! Have fun!!" |
