Fairy Dust and Dragonfly

Hello! Today I am sharing a card that I created using Fairy Dust Sparkle Blends. I decided to not go with a shaker card this time around, but to rather just apply the beautiful, opalescent sequins directly to my card front.

I thought that this particular Sparkle Blend would work really well with the Dragonfly Lily stamp from Stampendous. I decided to use the Spotlight Technique for coloring this stamp, so that there would be some focus exactly where I want it, but the Sparkle Blends would shine and be the focus elsewhere on the card. The image was colored with Tombow Dual Brush markers. Then I die cut it with a Fitted Frame from Stampendous.

I applied the sequins I liked for this card with Imagine's On Point Glue. It holds the sequins so well. I decided to do a bit more to my card base, so I inked the edges with Opera Pink VersaColor Ink and then applied 2 layers of Stampendous' Chunky Clear Embossing Powder. I purposefully didn't got for a smooth texture with the melted powder. Instead, I wanted it to look like water droplets.

There's something I really love about doing the Spotlight Technique. And I really love how the Fairy Dust Sparkle Blend makes the image seem magical. I can't wait to show you more with the Sparkle Blends! Remember, you can only get them at White Rose Crafts LLC, and each blend is a Limited Edition. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga
