My oldest grandchild is nine years old today. In honor of Benjamin, here's a little more green for you, with a touch of sparkle. Ben adds a lot of sparkle to my life! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful grandson. Where does the time go that he can be nine already?
Here's a close-up of the sparkle:
The technique used to create the sparkle is called Faux Diamond Dust. It's really easy and produces WOW results every time.
Here's how you do it:
- Stamp your image, as I've stamped the shamrock.
- If you're going to use a punch to create a particular shape, punch it now.
- Cover the entire stamped piece with VersaMark ink.
- Sprinkle on Iridescent Ice EP and heat emboss it until it turns slightly darker and really sparkles.
- Do not overheat or you'll lose some of the sparkle.
- That's it! It's just that easy.
Here's the card I made. As you can see, it's a slightly stepped up version of the card in my previous post. As always, I've stamped a coordinating envelope, too. The DSP is from the Print Poetry little pack of fabulous papers.
I'm off to go wrap Ben's presents now. It should be a fun day. I plan to do a little birthday celebrating with him and a little stamping in my studio. Yesterday, I made some really fun bunny projects. I'll be sharing those soon.
