Dazzling Diamond Dust

Let your images sparkle with this easy and "glitter controlled" technique.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Stamp your image on neutral Cardstock. Let dry.
   

   

2. Color your image and cut it down to the size you need. Petite Oval Nestabilities were used here.

   

3. Step 2

   Cover the entire piece of cardstock with embossing ink.
   
   Hint:
   Leave your Nestabilities Die template on your cardstock if you don't want the edge of the cardstock sparkly.

   

4. Step 3

   Place the cardstock over the Powder Pal™. If you don't have one, use a piece of copy paper. Pour iridescent ice embossing powder all over the cardstock.
   

   

5. Tap off the excess embossing powder.

   

6. Step 4

   Heat the embossing powder until it gets shiny.
   
   

   

7. The color of your image will appear brighter once the embossing powder is melted.

   

8. Step 5

   Finish your card.
