Lace Sparkle Tutorial


Supplies:

two sided tape in a big strip. (Cut it out a bit bigger then you need to so when you touch the edges you can cut them off as they will lose the stickiness) you will also peel off the back and stick it to a piece of white card stock.


a piece of lace

2 glitters one dark and one light

a glitter catcher or piece of paper to work on


peel off the top layer of the stickey strip (the back should be put on the card stock first) place the lace on the stickey tape and use the piece you just peeled off to pat down the lace.
spread your dark (here I used black) sparkles. then shake off the extra sparkles. then use your finger and rub the whole sheet back and forth. this is called burnishing and it will bring out the sparkle.
peel back the lace (you can use it over and over agian) and add the next colour. Here I used a light green. White is also a great contrast to the black. pat off any extra sparkles and then burnish it again.
add it to a card and Bobs your uncle you have a glitter card!

I love it! Thanks for showing how to do that. I can't wait to show my fellow stampers. I guess I'd better get to working with my glitter!

Miss you terribly.
