Start by inking up your favorite Northwoods Stamp with Art Glitter Very Black ink.
Press evenly onto cardstock. Tip- do not "rock" the application when you press down, you may get a double edge image and not a clear crisp press. 

Next Lynette used a fine tip metal tip and dries clear adhesive  to get glitter into the fine detailed art in the image. She choose 3 different colors of green Art Glitter shades. Emerald #48 for depth,  Lime Rind #280 for highlights, & Rain Forest #167 for the darker leaves. 

Lynette used micro tipped scissors to get a close cut, but you may use an Excel Hobby Blade to get the cleanest sharpest custom trimming. Then she continued to fill in the stamped image wreath making it full and lavish. She chose Art Glitter True Red #1 for the beautiful Northwoods holiday bow and embellished with rhinestones to look like ornaments. 

Lynette chose a simple country stripe in a sage green so that the wreath would be the focus and created an interesting collage of sponging of water and acrylics paints to match the undertones in the wreath's Art Glitter shades.  

What a joyful holiday it will be receiving this glittered Northwoods card!

Doppelganger Tags

 

Doppelganger means "to look alike"  Lynette thinks if she was a "cartoon" she'd want to be these darling Penny Black cling stamps! (especially if she was sketched with the skinny waist, super cute shoes, and a convertible Bel Air, lol.) The inspiration came to her when she saw the "faux fur" collar on the stamp. SoCal professional photographer, Heidi Jones of www.heidijonesphotography.com did a shoot of Lynette a couple years ago for a scrapbooking publication in the exact same outfit and she even her hair swept up! So Lynette went on a quest to find other kinds of photographs to match each of the Penny Black designs.  

Here are the supplies Lynette used in making her fun Doppelganger Tags: 

Lynette likes the comfort of and uniform look of Kraft paper as the background on each shipping tag. 

She used distress ink with a touch of watercolor to softly grunge the paper in a feminine manner. Then glued the kraft cardstock to the shipping tag and adhered a white sticker to reinforce the hole punch. 

Next Lynette put each of the Penny Black clings on an acrylic block and stamped Barbara Trombley's Art Glitter permanent black stamp ink pad on to white card stock. The images started really looking quite cute when she added shading and undertones. 

The fun part was taking Sakura of America's Quickie Glue pen and filling in the "accessories" like shoes, earrings, the collar, and more. Look below how easy it is to make the tiniest dots and sprinkle with the microfine Art Glitter.  

 

After the images were colored in, Lynette chose Graphic 45's Birdsong Collection and made a 2 inch horizontal strip across the center of the tag. Next she cut "doily" like frames for each tag, used Art Glitter Designer Adhesive all over each circle frame. Tag #1 used Lime Green and Rain forest 

Tag #2 used 512 Bahaman Blue and Tag #3 used #65 Old Gold and #509 Wood Nymph. Tag #2 

Here is Lynette's popular technique ~ handwriting her titles! Each Doppelganger Tag has a cute adjective saying, "FIERCE" "CHIC" and "VOGUE" then using the Sakura Quikie Glue Pen over her lettering she glittered classic #79 Ultrafine Opaque Black.  

Lynette took her Excel Hobby Blade and carefully trimmed to get super close to the stamped image without losing the black outline.

Lady Liberty

 

All you can say is "Wow, God Bless America!" when you check out Art Glitter Designer, Lynette Daniel's awesome scrapbook page!  The secret is using soft vintage tones on the bottom layer so the top layer of Art Glitter lights up like fireworks. Here is the supplies Lynette used below:

Lynette chose an off white colored cardstock from WorldWin Papers as her background. The cardstock looked too modern and needed a vintage touch, so she dampened a sponge and used Distress Ink pads to soften. Then lightly blended 3 shades to match the Pride collection from Authentique perfectly. Next Lynette carefully drew "America" onto the cardstock. 

The all American collage starts coming together by building layers. Lynette cut a Cricut "firework" looking frame and purposely used a distressed paint brush to swipe on the adhesive and used classic #1 True Red Ultrafine Opaque Glitter and kept the ends "free" to softly curl.

Simple country buttons and flat wood stars were embellished with Art Glitter #85 Crystal and #732 Porpoise. Last but not least, here is what "Lynette" is known for~ using the Art Glitter Designer Adhesive over her handwritten titles and designs. #732 Porpoise Microfine Transparent Glitter has almost a worn denim (blue-grey) undertone that naturally compliments the Authentique Pride papers.

As you can see Lady Liberty is almost finished below, but freedom isn't free, so Lynette added the sub title "God Bless" last.

Shabby Chic Scrapping

Shabby Chic is an old English country style mostly derived the wear and tear. Today, we find the distressed designs in more modern graphics and touch bolder colors but still replicating a comfortable cottage feel. The trick is how to add bling (and not be flashy) to a relaxed, time worn look. See how Art Glitter Designer, Lynette Daniel has added her special touch of soft elegance to the faded Authentique summer collection below!

Lynette started with 3 Authentique summer collection papers, 4 Art Glitters and Cotton Cloud Fantasy Fiber, 2 solid WorldWin Papers cardstocks, 1 Crafter's Workshop 12x12 Template, Tim Holtz rotary paper distress tool & Scattered Straw Distress Ink, Ranger Buttercup Liquid Pearl, May Arts Ribbon jute twines,  silk flowers, and a handful of assorted buttons. 

As shown above, Lynette laid the Crafter's Workshop template on the cardstock and applied Art Glitter Designer Adhesive (Clear) on a foam applicator. Next, lifted up the template and sprinkled #254 Stratosphere Opaque Chunky Hologram onto cardstock then distressed edges when dry. 

To get that soft elegant look, Lynette chooses a monochromatic glitter palette to match the Authentique summer collection papers. Above, you'll see how she stitched the layers together then used her Cricut to cut the flourish and embellish with Art Glitter Designer Adhesive and #167 Rain Forest Ultrafine Transparent Glitter.

Here are those extra special touches that Lynette is known for~ Check out her handwriting straight onto the Authentique papers! To finish the title, Lynette goes straight over her pencil marks with Buttercup Liquid Pearl and embellishes with Art Glitter #65 Old Gold Ultrafine Opaque. If you look closely, Lynette added #85 Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter to the silk flowers and Fantasy Fiber (Cotton Cloud) under/above the assorted buttons to give a beautiful texture to the simple embellishments.  Please comment below and tell us your favorite part about Lynette's Shabby Chic scrapbook layout called "You Are Everything To Me."

Fairy Princess Makeover

Art Glitter Designer, Lynette Daniel made this sweet girl's wish come true by becoming a beautiful fairy princess for the day. Here is a before picture of Miss Allyson Murray (age 12) getting ready to be transformed. 

Lynette wanted to make sure that the "face painting" was safe for Allyson's sensitive skin, could stay on all day, but easily washed off with a baby wipe or wash cloth. No adhesive could be used, therefore Lynette took a palette of watercolors and mixed a coordinating Art Glitter color with the non toxic paint and literally painted her face with a soft horse hair paint brush.  

Lynette starts by mixing Rain Forest #167 into the green watercolor and swiping a flourish across Allyson's face. Next Lynette fills in her eye area with a white watercolor mixed with Crystal #85. She starts to build a winged mask effect from the bridge of her nose to her temple and then following down past the cheek bone to accent her heart shaped face.

Next Lynette continues to follow the curves of Allyson's face and add a fresh tint of Lime Rind #280 to the green watercolor building each layer to blend with the next. Lynette chose #178 Duck Tail for an exciting pop of "bling in spring" Last, Lynette applied black liquid eyeliner and mascara on Allyson for definition. 

To be complete, Lynette French coiffed Allyson's hair and coordinate a crown of spring flowers with a touch of Lime Rind #280 on the sprigs and tucked into each twist of her braid. Then Lynette took many shades of sweet May Arts ribbons that matched the Art Glitter tones and fashioned a whispy fairytale bow and attached to hide the rubber band. 

After the final touches of fairy princess pampering, Miss Allyson felt like her feet were 10 feet off the ground.
