More mixed media fun! I love building up these mini card canvases and I love using the elements I've coloured for The Daily Marker's 30 Day Colouring Challenge. This just brings a smile to my face, the fun of making it and all the sparkle and glitter.
I started out by stencilling embossing paste, letting it dry, adding lace and thread then letting it dry. Then lots of spraying, sticking, stamping and letting it dry. I also added some distress ink to the edges of my diecuts and the card background. All the waiting to dry fits perfectly into family life as I'm usually called away from my crafting to my main taxiing duties!
Now for the sparkle, lots of glittery Stickles, Wink of Stella, embossing powder, beads and microbeads, plus all the shimmer from the sprays.
