How to use Eyeshadow to Create Gorgeous Backgrounds

I was ready to throw away this eye shadow palette because it no longer "sparked joy." But then, I decided that the colors were too pretty to get rid of. So I headed to my craft room to have a little fun creating these elegant background panels that I created in today's video.

Great idea, Gina. Now I am off to check out my makeup drawer to find some eyeshadow that no longer sparks joy so I can repurpose it in my craft room. What a fun and beautiful technique. TFS.

Love this technique Gina!!! I used to be a makeup artist and have many old eye shadow pallets in storage. Thanks for the inspiration!!! Going to try this technique with my card making group. They will love it!

Makes sense that eyeshadow could be used as it is much like Perfect Pearls. Beautiful backgrounds. Thank you for sharing the technique.

I knew right away that was a NYX palette!! Such beautiful colors! I have a different NYX one that I'd use for backgrounds sometimes, but OH MY GOSH, that Swiffer trick is BRILLIANT!! My jaw literally dropped and I can't wait to try that! Love your videos and much love 💞

The cards came out so beautiful, Gina! I really love the process and the look of the eye shadow, not something I have in my cabinets but will be on the lookout for sales. I will just have to say they are for my niece when purchasing, lol. Thanks for always inspiring us to make beautiful cards than in turn make people smile and feel better! That's what this whole thing is about, making people feel better and special, one card at a time! ❤❤❤❤

OMG what an amazing idea!! Got make up that I don't want to throw away cause it's beautiful, but just not a color that I would use, and the rest of the set is empty (already used up), so I can use this this way and when its empty, thow it away, finally, and have a couple of beautiful cards. SUCH A BRILLIANT IDEA !

Hi Gina! I just watched this through the email. It is sooooo cool! I love the way they go on so smoothly. And it's so nice to find a use for Versamark without embossing, since my heat tool has wandered off into the ether. And thanks for not covering up the background when you made your card. :) Cheers! Try and stay warm.

@sharonfrees9128 5 жыл бұрын

On another thing that I did long ago, was to use what was removed or stuck to the stamp. I placed a white glossy card stock on it and the eye shadow transferred to the paper. This way you get two cards with one eye shadow imprint.

@Vangerhofer1 5 жыл бұрын

Before I had money to spend a lot on craft supplies I did use makeup a lot for card making. So this brought back lots of memories for me. Your backgrounds look awesome. I don't wear makeup anymore so guess I can't try it and I will not be purchasing any to just make a few cards as I have plenty of inks and still have chalk too.

I’ve been using old eye shadows for some time now to make mica sprays. I’m always afraid it will rub off so I use Tim Holtz Micro Glaze on top to make it waterproof. Works great!! Thanks for showing another use using background stamps but I will put Micro Glaze on top.

I once saw a similar technique with stamping with versamark first and then dusting it with eyeshadow. But yours is more beautiful.

I bet the bright orange and pink will make a pretty back ground. Great idea for using up make-up. Does the eye shadow stay on the card after you are done?

Tina I love your channel! Always get so many ideas. 😁. As I was watching you use large background stamps for smaller backgrounds I thought it might be cool to center the smaller backgrounds and then use leftover background with the remaing background to cover an entire sheet of cardstock. When you lift away the larger piece you'll have a background with a blank framed centre to heat emboss and use as another background. Just a thought

@missbilbybadinage1199 4 жыл бұрын

Ooh ooh, versamark on an embossing folder, then foil the raised part with pre used foil to get a vintage look (or apply glue stick haphazardly with foil, press lightly and wait for it to dry for a similar result).

Those are all lovely! What a neat idea you had. With the Versa Mark, I'm assuming you didn't put any clear embossing powder on it. You just used the Versa Mark. I had a huge thing of eyeshadow, about 3 years ago and it was very bright colors, I would never use. I gave it away. How I wish I had kept it now! :-) Beth
