Today is the last day – Day 4 of my Trio Challenge with my dear friends Kathy and Lucy. As a little bonus, I have a video to go with it.
We will all be using the Penny Black Christas Star Stamp…
Years ago when I started teaching stamping classes, I often used Metallic Rub-Ons. I hadn’t seen them in a long time, so I decided to break them out. They are so fun, inexpensive and a great way to get a classy faux metal look in no time flat. Here is a video showing how to use them…
HERE are the Metallic Rub-Ons. Love all the sets…
I also colored my pearls to make them look gold. Used Copic E35 – easy. On pearls, it makes the perfect gold color. (Oh, and Copic T5 works for a silver look.)
Next, be sure to go over to Kathy’s blog to see her fab coloring and Lucy’s blog to see her awesome use of patterned paper with the same stamp.

love the beautiful shine that the metallic rub-on gives. stunning card, Jennifer!
I have all (four? I believe) and this is a awesome way to use them more! Thanks for the idea!
Wow, that really gives an incredible shine. I’ll be on the lookout for some of those metallic rub-ons (how convenient, I’m visiting a craft show tomorrow!). Love that flower stamp too – a great one for cutting out & layering.
Thanks for sharing! (& enabling)
What a gorgeous card! Those rub on pearls have such a pretty effect!
I love your card and I love metallic rub-ons!!! Like you, I’ve used them for years but sometimes I forget about them and they get lonely and unused on the shelf. The other day I actually used them to fix a pair of bronze leather flats I had that were scuffed–worked perfectly!
Wow! That’s an amazing look! Didn’t know this product, thanks for showing!
I love the card and the video is great. Thanks for all you show us. I have learned so much from you. Have a great weekend.
Totally delicious.
LOVE it Jennifer.
Those metallic rub ons are great. I love them. Thanks for the video, your card is great.
Enjoyed all the videos and what a lovely card.
Simply Stunning! The shimmer on your flower is just awesome. Hope you all do this challenge again some time as it’s been a blast.
Jennifer, I love this technique. I’ve never seen metallic rub-ons and now must search them out! I love the effect you acheived just by using your finger.
Thanks for the continued inspiration, and hope you have a great weekend.

thank you so much for your detailed videos, I REALLY appreciate it! Makes me feel like I can do it at home!
Absolutely gorgeous card! I’ve got to dig those metallic rubons out. I haven’t used them in ages. Hopefully they’re not dried out! Thanks for your video too!
Jennifer,
Your card is amazing! I am SO going to buy those metallic rubons! They look so fun!
Thanks for the E35 and Pearls tip… I used it tonight and it was wonderful!
Really love that look Jennifer! Ordered my first set of metallic rub-ons now!! I only discovered stamping a month ago and inspired by your Thinking Inking series I have learned so much and had so much fun creating (and spent so much money lol!).
Thank you for all of your wonderful videos and sharing your knowledge with the world- one day I want to be just like you
I have some of those metallic rub-ons! I completely forgot about them. I am going to break them out. Thank you so much for all the inspiration!
Many, many, many moons ago I bought some of these, and never once used them. I know where they are, I’m gonna dig them out and give them a whirl. This card is so dang pretty. I don’t have that stamp, but I’m going to try it with Christmas trees I think. Thanks for the idea.
Thanks for the reminder, I’ve had metallic rub-ons for ages, for have hardly used them and had forgotten all about them.
I just bought that music background stamp, I’ll have to give it a try!
Absolutely love the look on blue with the sheet music!!
Love the card! Have a great day!
Jennifer, I just happen to pull out my metallic rubons the other day too after years of storage. I forgot how creamy they are and how great they look. I never thought of using them on embossing and mixing the colors the way you did. Thanks for the inspiration.
Beautiful card and fun technique.
This is awesome. I’ve always used the metallic rub-ons along an edge. Never thought to cover an entire image with them. Great video.
