Sparkle card tutorial with SNS

Hello my dear crafty friends!

Irit from Irit Shalom Designs is here today  with my last July  Sparkle N' Sprinkle release project.

This time I decided to make a card with themed stamps for totally another occasion.

So this is a general " Sparkle" card made with Halloween stamp from the new released 

When black cats prowl SNS stamp set.

 I need to say that it's very hard to take photos when you use mirror Tonic Studios cardstock. So I am sorry  for not getting better photos, unless you would see me all over them. (Mirror it is).
This is an easy to make Mixed Media card and even these who struggle with mediums can do it in totally no time.
I have a full step by step tutorial for you to use and I hope you would try to make the very similar background using Tonic adorable mica mists, glimmer paste and you dies and stencils.

Product list:

Black detail EP

Black ice glitter

Golden sparkle embossing powder

VersaMark ink

Tea- rific tape 1/2''

Tim Holtz 5'' mini scissor
Brushable glue

 Step by step tutorial:
1.Use dotted stencil (any kind) with Tonic Golden crystal glimmer paste over a die cut black cardstock. Try to find the die that has some edges and not a simple rectangle one.

2. Let the paste dry and mist with three colors of Tonic Mica mists. Add them generously and let them dry.

 3. Stamp the black cat from this Halloween new SNS stamp set on white cardstock using VersaMark and Black detail SNS embossing powder.  Hand cut the image. Then brush some Brushable glue over the stamped cat image and sprinkle Black Ice SNS glitter.

 4. Use same die and same misted black cardstock to make a sentiment strip.

 5. Stamp the sentiment and heat emboss with Golden Sparkle embossing powder.Arrange the sentiment over Gold mirror cardstock.

I hope that you liked my small card making tutorial and see you soon with more SNS inspiration!

I made  this card using the most gorgeous Sketched Pear blossom stamp set and added totally glittered background using a stencil and three SNS glitter colors. 

 The main image was stamped over embossable SNS acetate, heat embossed with black detail embossing powder and colored from the back and from ther front with different coloring mediums.

Tim Holtz 5'' mini scissor

Bubblegum glitter

Nuvo drops Bubblegum blush

Nuvo drops Caribbean ocean

 Nuvo medium  glue pen

Embossable acetate

Sticker paper

 Here are some close- ups to the project:

 And now here is my full step by step tutorial for you to follow:
1.Die cut the square using sticker paper. Add the stencil over and sprinkle Waterfall glitter.

2. Peel off the stencil and add Spirited green on the top. Try to avoid the middle part that will be covered with third color.

 3. Add pink glitter on the middle of the square.

 4. Die cut cardstock rectangles to make your card.

 5. Arrange the rectangles and glittered square as shown using Tear- ific 1/2'' double sided SNS tape.

 6. Stamp the Pear blossoms over embossable acetate  - the large and two small ones- using VersaMark ink and heat emboss with Black detail SNS embossing powder.

7. Color the stamped acetate from the back side with a mix of Ranger alcohol inks.

8. Hand cut the stamped images. Don't try to make it perfect as this is a clear acetate around the stamped images.

 9. Glue the stamped pieces over the card as shown using Tonic glue pen.Remember to glue from the heat embossed side up.

 10. Color the image with acrylic paints. (Green one is not shown on the photo).

 11.  Stamp and die cut the sentiment. Glue it over the card.

Step by step tutorial:

1. Die cut the oval frame and put the oval part as a mask over the rectangle die cut card front as shown. Cover it with stencil and add Tonic Moon stone glitter paste over the stencil. 

  

2. Die cut a smaller oval from vellum paper and stamp the blooms with VersaMark and heat emboss with black detail embossing powder.

3. Color the stamped blooms with Zig watercolor markers and arrange over the card as shown.

4. Make large black cardstock matting and cover the edges with the same stencil and Tonic Black Diamond glitter paste around. The blue die  cut piece is just a mask that keeps the white card space clean.

5. Die cut the sentiment several times and glue it one over another to make a chipboard like shape.White color should be on the top.All other colors are not so important as we don't see them.
