This is the prototype for one of my convention swaps. . .what to you think too boring? I found out that one can burn faux diamond dust if they keep the heat gun in one place for too long At least I'll know for next time!

Here's how to do Faux diamond dust (I think SU had it on display at a regional convention or something) -
Brayer over glossy cardstock in color of your choice and let dry.
Then cover glossy cardstock with versamark ink and sprinkle iridescent ice embossing powder over it.
Emboss with a heat gun and viola! Faux diamond dust paper. . . I scrapbook stores sell diamond dust paper in all sorts of colors - it's very sparkly, but here's a way to do it yourself Have fun!
