Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Begin with a circle of glitter or white cardstock cut with a 3” circle framelit or punch.
-
Step 2
Use a punch or die to create a negative image (open space of a shape) within the circle.
NOTE:
Make sure to have the image in the proper orientation when punching. -
Step 3
This will leave a positive image (here a cat) and a negative opening (a cat which will look silhouetted against a moon).
-
Step 4
Sponge lightly around the edges to add depth.
NOTE:
Please see the video for tips on sponging without streaking and also how glimmer paper can also be changed color by spritzing. -
Step 5
Place dimensional adhesive to the back of the punched “moon”.
-
Step 6
Assemble the card and embellish as desired. A dark card base will show the negative cutout best.
-
Step 7
Complete the project.
