I created the background panel by stamping with the back of the diamonds in various Distress inks - this gave me a sort of watery halo for when I stamped the image the right way round in black ink.
This quick and easy technique works well with stamps that have symmetrical images, though sometimes I have experimented with those that aren't - you still get an equally interesting effect!
I trimmed the panel and adhered to the front of a card base. I grabbed a glassine bag and filled it with sequins of varying sizes and colours before sealing shut with Glossy Accents. This was adhered to the card front with strategically placed foam pads!
Finally, the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto a speech bubble die-cut that was lying around on my desk, waiting to be used! This also covered up those unsightly foam pads too! :-)
I also added a wood veneer butterfly to the composition - I smeared some Versamark ink onto it, covered in silver embossing powder and heat set.
Thanks for stopping by!
I LOVE it!
