Glitter Dots

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a few cards with you today that I made using Elizabeth Craft Designs Christmas Cupcake Peel Off stickers #2527, Stampendous Microfine Crystal glitter and Letraset ProMarkers.

Colouring on glitter with ProMakers is a really fun way to make beautiful glittered accents for your cards and scrapbooks. This year I am hoping to have time to make some special cookies and squares to give out as gifts so I thought these Christmas cupcakes would be perfect for the cards to accompany them.

For those of you that are new to this technique I will quickly run through the basics. First, attach a piece of Elizabeth Craft Designs transparent double sided adhesive to a piece of cardstock (usually white). Remove the protective sheet from the adhesive and place the peel off sticker right onto your adhesive being careful not to distort the shape. Now sprinkle the Crystal Stampendous Frantage Micro Glitter all over, rub it in with your fingers and then tap off the excess. To make sure that the glitter is really stuck rub over it again and then use a fluffy brush to remove any extra bits. Now you are ready to start colouring with your ProMarkers.

I like to use the chisel tip and a dabbing motion to colour in bigger spaced and then I use the bullet tip to add shading. If you brush the pen across the glitter I think you will find that you rub some of it off so I found that dabbing gently worked better.

 

For this card I used these ProMarkers : R565 Poppy, R445 Crimson, G356 Forest Green, G724 Holly, O618 Putty, O427 Cinnamon & the BL400 Blender.

The Merry Christmas die #745 from Elizabeth Craft Designs cut out the perfect sentiment to put on the inside of this flip fold card.

 

On my next card I used an Action Wobble Spring to attach the cupcake to the card front just for fun.

On all of the cards I used the new Elizabeth Craft Designs Glitter Dots 7018tg as accents and on the last card I used the R565 Poppy ProMarker to colour some of them red. These little dots are a quick, easy way to add a little more sparkle without having to get out the glitter and glue. I’m loving them!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope these cards give you ideas and inspiration.
