The new Alphabet Frames are to die for.  And I really enjoyed mixing them with the coordinating Glimmer Chips – Regal (rouge pink) to create this elegant layered monogram for a layout of my grandmother, Mabel.

This layout uses two of my new favorite colors of Glimmer Mist.  Yes, every color is an instant favorite.  I agree!  The two I used here are Dew Drop and Cherry Blossom, which has a hint of irridescence to it.  Gorgeous! 

The embossed shapes were burnished over the top with this fabulous ink from Quick Quotes called Powder Puffs (I used Midnight Confession).

And then I was using the wonderful new stamp sets that are debuting at CHA, and created a new technique I like to call Glimmer Lifting.  Basically, you spray your Glimmer Mist onto the paper and then apply a clean stamp over the top.  Lift it off, and it removes the Glimmer Mist only where the stamp touched the paper.  It creates a detailed watermark image, surrounded by Glimmer Mist.  Subtle and beautiful.  Clean the stamp between each impression for the best results.

I'll post another layout tonight.  Type to you soon!
