I made this card for a dear Alphabet sister who is going through a tough time right now. This card also fits this week's alphabet challenge for D (for dragonfly). There is a pond near our house that is filled with water lilies and swarming with dragonflies and seeing this always calms me down so I am hoping this will have a serene, calming effect on Linda as well. I first inked the stencil with stampinup inks and finger daubers. I leave the stencil in place and clean all the ink off the stencil the best I can. Then, using a palette knife I apply the glass bead glitter gel in a thin layer right over the inked image. Remove the stencil and set this aside to dry. It is always so much fun to see how this tecnique turns out once it is dry. I hope Linda enjoys this card. The inside sentiment says, "some remembers, some cares, your name is whispered in someone's prayers" and this is by Dare2BArtsy. Thanks for looking today. ~Karen.

Glass glitter beads is a stunning effect! Love your color palette sponged with the stencil as the backdrop for your beads! Very serene and restful card!
