Joy

Hey everyone! I hope all is well in your world today. Life is good here. I tried a new to me technique on this card and it worked great! I had never before used glitter paste and I quite enjoyed using it.

I made the A2 card from Recollections white 110lb cardstock. I then took a stencil I have that has different sizes of circles and I laid that over the front of the card and taped it down with mint tape. Now for the fun part. I used Recollections clear glitter paste and a palette knife and spread the glitter paste over the stencil. It looks so pretty! I think I set the card aside for about an hour so the glitter paste could dry completely.

For the sentiment, I chose a beautiful joy stamp that I have, and I stamped it on white cardstock. I used VersaFine Clair nocturne ink and I heat set it with Wow metallic silver super fine embossing powder. I then used the second smallest curved rectangle die from the Spellbinders Nestabilities set to cut out the sentiment. I chose the slightly larger die from that set to cut out a border for the sentiment. I cut it from light blue glitter cardstock. I glued the sentiment onto the blue glitter cardstock using Bearly Art glue.

When the glitter paste was completely dry, I popped the sentiment up on Scotch foam tape and adhered it to the upper portion of the card. Nothing more was needed on this card as the glitter was the star of the show.

I hope your day is filled with joy and that you are able to pass it on to those around you.
