Taylored Expressions | How to Create Your Own Sparkly Cardstock | Gnome | Beach Babe - Dress Up | @CallMeCraftyAl @TayloredExpressions | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
I created a card that is merMADE for Summer! To get the look and feel of a 'real' mermaid, I made my own sparkly cardstock with ombre ink blending heat embossed with diamond powder. To go with the "Hello Sunshine" sentiment, I used the Here Comes the Sun stencil for a background and finished the card off with some shiny drip drops. Will you try this technique on a project you're working on?
