I made this card for this week's Alphabet Challenge for the letter I. The I in this card is for iridescent because this card is super glittery in real life.
I stamped 2 sets of the pine trees, then punched out a circle punch and placed that in the middle of the card. Sponged blue ink around entire background. Keeping circle mask in place, apply versamark ink directly from the ink pad on to the entire background you just stamped and sponged. Now remove the circle mask and pour heat and stick powder all over the versamark ink. Heat set just until it looks "wet". Now pour dazzling diamonds glitter all over the background, then heat until everything is "set" and feels crystally hard.
Stamp sentiment onto heat resistance acetate using versamark ink. Pour silver embossing powder on top and heat set. Adhere acetate sentiment to card front using small brads.
This card is really sparkly in real life, but of course, this is hard to capture in a photo. Thanks for looking today. ~Karen.
