A bit of sparkle

 

Hi There! We have a new challenge over on the Bee Crafty Stamps Facebook group where the theme is Sparkle, so I thought I would share a single layer Christmas card with you today. Here is how I made it.

I began by heat embossing a Doodle Art Bauble onto an A6 white card blank using some silver sparkle embossing powder.

Next, I stamped the same bauble onto a post it note and cut it out to make a mask. 

Placing the mask over the embossed image I place a Dinkable on top and used masking tape to secure it to the card. I then blended Blueprint sketch and Peacock Feathers Distress ink through the dinkable. 

After removing the mask, dinkable and tape, I used some metallic watercolour paints to paint the Bauble. 

I used a silver pen to add strands of thread for the bauble to dangle from. 

Finally I added a sentiment from the mixed messages Christmas set. 

Here is the finished card once more....

And here is a close-up of the sparkle.
