Glitter Blessings






I love the look of glitter on a card, but making this card showed me why I so seldomly use it!  

Materials:

  • double-stick adhesive sheet
  • plastic stencil (Roses by Paper Artist - HOTP)
  • glitter
  • green foil paper
  • card stock
  • cutting die (Our Daily Bread Designs)
  • card base
  • ATG
Method:
  1. Cover card stock piece with double-sided adhesive.
  2. Remove liner paper and lay stencil over top.
  3. Apply glitter to visible areas that the stencil didn't cover (I used several colors for this part - green for leaves, mauve, pink, and purple for the flowers, silver for the swirls).
  4. Rub glitter in well and brush off and excess.
  5. Remove stencil & add another color of glitter to the newly exposed adhesive (I used a clear glitter for this). 
  6. Rub well & brush off excess. 
  7. Cut foil into strips & glue to perimeter of card base to form a mat.
  8. Trim glittered card stock to size and glue in place.
  9. Cut the word "Blessings" from foil paper and from adhesive backed foam sheet.
  10. Glue foil on top of foam using a glue pen for adhesive.
  11. Arrange diagonal stripes of foil paper & the word where you want them. 
  12. Remove backing from word & glue in place.
  13. Run ATG tape over foil stripes and glue in place.
