Sparkle & Shine

Good afternoon crafters , We have a long weekender from Tonic Studios starting today on create and craft with the fabulous Celebration die collection and also  Nuvo Sparkle Dust-12 x fantastic shades of ultra fine Nuvo glitters there like silk to touch I havn't seen any glitters as fine as these before and I'm not a huge glitter person but these as we say here in Cheshire are lush there great to work with the sparkle is wonderful until you touch it ,it's hard for me to explain how it feels to touch.

Dies used:-

Swirling frames- large Layering Dies

Sparkle & Shine sentiments

Nuvo Sparkle Dust-Paradise Blue-Cosmo Berry & Raspberry Blue

The card shape was made with A4 card stock folded in half with the edge of the die slightly over hanging the spine of the card and run through the die cutting machine release the die and then score the front of the card in half again this is to form the easel for your card I then used the same die to make the shaped card to cut the top part of the card I did this in blue card to match the base card and then cut the same shape in white 240 GSM card and then cut the detail into this die cut to achieve the beautiful lace around the edge .

I then put a piece of double sided sticky sheets to a piece of card  then cut a smaller die cut in the set  once I did this I peeled off the sticky back and sprinkled  3 different  colours of the glitter and rubbed it all into the sticky sheets this glitter can be put into a new bag or pot so you have made your own shade don't waste a drop,I also did the same with the senments used double sided sticky sheets made my own glittered sentiments ,the base layer of the easel I used a purple mirri card just to add a different texture and all the colours matched  the Cosmo Berry sparkle dust.
