Shine and Sparkle Sunday #26-2017

Sparkle and Shine is what Kimberly has for us today.

I used Dina Wakley Media paint, gelli plate, stencils and Dina Wakley Media Scribbly Bird Stamp to create this fun mixed media card.  The Wildflowers in the background are from a Tim Holtz stamp set and is the new item.  The random “shine” on the outside of the card is gold foil.  I used a glue stick to adhere the foil.  - Kimberly

My sparkle and shine card.

Detail

This is the front of a card made for my Granddaughter's birthday.  I had the background in my stash from playing around with alcohol inks one day.  I decided it looked sort of like a night sky and would make a good background for this fairy image.  I stamped the image from Unity Stamp Company (a KOM set called What Lies Within Us) on velum using Versamark and then heat embossed it using gold embossing powder.  I have purchased a lot of Unity stamps this year and this is one.  I had been seeing people using Perfect Pearls to watercolor with and this was going to be perfect to try it.  I put just a small amount of the four colors of Perfect Pearls on my craft mag and added water to them with a spray bottle. They were pretty easy to use and give it a gorgeous shine.  I will be using this method again. - Denise
