My day is finally here!  I have been waiting, and waiting to post this months project because I got to use Glimmer Glam, Glaze and Chalkboard Glimmer mist.  Oh how I love these new products, not to mention the seaside collection of stamps, and glimmer glass.  I love using transparency sheets and acrylic, something about working on a clear surface just makes me happy.  One of the things that I love about Glam, Glaze, and Chalkboard Glimmer Mist is that you can use them on non-porous surfaces such as acrylic and metal, so you get so much versatility from them.  So here is what you will need for this project: 

 12×12 transparency sheet,12×12 white cardstock, Coastal breeze Screen Prints Stamps, Sea Glass Glimmer Glass, Glimmer mist in blue skies, vintage pink, and mimosa, Glimmer Glam in Peach bellini, Golden Goddess, Chalkboard Glimmer Mist in Mint Chocolate Chip, Beach Bingo Boards and Calling Cards, Ultra thick embossing powder, Staz-on ink in black.

Start by spraying your white cardstock with blue skies, vintage pink, and mimosa glimmer mist.

Then you are going to spray the Chalkboard Glimmer Mist onto the bottom portion of your transparency sheet.  I let it dry for about 15 minutes, then added another coat, so total dry time about a half hour.  I don’t recomment using a heat gun to speed up the drying as it will melt your transparency. 

Next, stamp your images onto the transparency using staz-on ink. 

I painted the backside of my glimmer glass pieces with glam in golden goddess for the shells, and peach bellini for the sun.  These dry pretty quickly so you can add another coat if you want more color and sparkle.

I placed my photos onto the glimmer misted cardstock, stamped the palm tree image in the corner, and overlayed the transparency over the page.  Then I added the title, and the calling card to the transparency sheet.   Now, for some fun stuff!  I poured out a little ultra thick embossing powder, and a little Golden Goddess Glimmer Glam, mixed them up, and spread them over the bottom edge of the glimmer glass shells and transparency sheet.  Let me tell you, when this is dry it really looks like sand!  And it doesn’t rub off, it’s on there like cement!

Voila!  Here is your finished layout:
