Hey wee ones! Two posts today! (If you're looking for my Merry Monday card, you can check it out here!)
I was thrilled when Deena from Pink Paper Bakery asked me to be a guest designer today! I have been wanting to revisit an old technique that I learned when I first started stamping---Dazzling Diamond Dust! This is a real simple technique but it has a big “wow” factor!

Basically, you stamp your image…a brightly-colored one works best! Cover the entire image with Versamark ink--just go pat, pat, pat with the ink pad allll over your stamped surface. Then cover the entire area with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. Heat it up….and watch the sparkle!!! Make sure you heat all the areas of the card. Here’s my sample:
I stamped the floral image from Blooming with Kindness in Calypso Coral, then added two butterflies from Papillon Potpourri. I colored them with a Tangerine Tango marker, then did the Diamond Dust technique. I matted it with Basic Black and mounted it on an embossed Calypso Coral panel. Can you see the sparkle here?
I dyed some seam binding with Calypso Coral ink and made a shabby bow to finish it off! I hope you’ll try this too! Thanks for visiting today!
