Sparkle and shine

Hello.

I have a very sparkly card for today using neat and tangled stamp sparkle and shine stamp set.

I heat embossed the images  and sentiment in platinum on watercolour card and water coloured  with distress inks.

I've been craving some colour so when is started i thought this was going to be brighter i always forget that watercolour tends to dry lighter.

That said i am very happy with the colours and with them being more muted it shows the sparkle from the embossing and the glitter pen i used even better.

Thanks for looking.

Sparkle and shine

Hello.

I was playing with my Neat and tangled stamps  and thought id show two ways to use the Sparkle and shine set.

It screams out to me as a girly set so i set about changing that and made a girl and boy card.

My first card is more feminine and uses the large diamond stamp.

I stamped the diamond onto to some craft metal to make it a bit blingy ...obviously its a sapphire ;)

I also stamped one of the smaller diamond is versamark onto the panel for a watermark effect,

Then added some sequins to finish.

The next card is my boy card.

I picked a few ink colours that i thought would work well together Gray, orange, green and blue.

I the stamps the different sized stars in each colour randomly.

Then  i used the Coles ABC dies from Lawn fawn, you can use any alpha dies for this.

I die cut the word son and added some dark glitter card behind.

Thanks for looking.

Sparkle and shine

Hello.

Have you seen lots of goodies have arrived at Make the day special this week.

Among them, are the stamps Ive used from Neat and tangled.

My first card i have used the circle from sparkle and shine then used the little row of dots that decrease in size.

 I simply stamped in various colours around the circle which was a great guide even though you can see it :)

Once i had the big circle pattern i stamped the happy from everyday circles and cut out this was added to the card with foam so that its raised a little.

Then i stamped the birthday sentiment from the same set. 

Once that was  all finished i felt it needed a little more so used some of the spring mix sequins.

I added a teeny bit of diamond stickles to the centres once they were adhered to the card.

For this card i simply used the sparkle and shine set.

I stamped the diamonds in grey pink and yellow and used some of the smaller stamps as accents around them in the same colours.

Once i had stamped the sentiment i lightly spritzed with glimmer mist and its so sparkly in real life.

Of course i wasn't done yet and added some small touches of diamond stickles.

Thanks for looking.
