I’m aware that the pictures aren’t showing up in here.  I’m moving them to a different web hosting so in process of that.. all the picture links are broken and I will have to manually correct those and there’s over 300 posts on this blog so it’ll take me a bit to find them and correct them.

Thank you.

Clear Inspiration™ Ribbon Slides

Clear Inspirations™ Ribbon Slides make embellishing faster, simpler, and
easier! Simply slip a ribbon slide onto your favorite ribbon, or use Liquid
Glass to attach it directly to your art— Liquid Glass won’t show through!

Try these tips with Clear Inspirations Ribbon Slides:
• Apply chalk or re-inker to the letters on your ribbon slides to make them
stand out more.
• For a fun alternative to simply sliding ribbon behind your Clear
Inspirations, try looping ribbon through each side and adhering paper to the
back with Liquid Glass!

Liquid Glass

Liquid Glass can turn basic art images into a three-dimensional high-gloss
embellishment that will ornament your scrapbook layouts or cards. You and
your customers will have so much fun applying this unique accent to your artwork!

Here’s what makes Close To My Heart’s Liquid Glass the product of choice:.  Does not require mixing multiple liquids together.  Container has a fine tip that allows precise application.

Tips for using Liquid Glass:

• Apply Liquid Glass to any image by squeezing a small amount out of the bottle
  and onto your art.
• We recommend that you apply a light coat first and then
  reapply as needed for the desired thickness.
• Drying time can vary from 15 minutes to several hours, depending on how thickly it is applied.
• While the items may be dry to the touch, we recommend allowing 24 to 48 hours for your items to seal. Trim any excess from your image after the longer drying period.
• Once dry, your images are ready to add to your card or scrapbook page.

  Your image may be stamped, colored in with markers, water-brushed, colored with
  pencils, or whatever you desire.

• Whichever you choose, make sure your image is colored completely and cut out exactly the way you want it before you advance to the Liquid Glass process because the colored image can’t be adjusted once the Liquid Glass is applied.
• After you learn the process for stamped images, you can easily apply the same techniques to Close To My Heart My Stickease™ art for additional outstanding results.
• Liquid Glass may alter the color of some of the Close To My Heart inks, so make
  sure you test your stamped image before applying it to your final projects.
• Clean the tip of the applicator after each use to keep it from clogging.

Here’s my take on this CCC, EXCEPT that I didn’t have Outdoor denim. I KNOW I bought it, but I can’t find it.  GRR so I used New England Ivy instead.  Sorry about that!!  I used the Enchanted PP and Goodness of Life stamp set.  Everything’s with CTMH.
