I have just had some fun creating this Thankyou card using sponging and Stampin' Glitter®. I love the added dimension and rustic charm they give to the card. I have used my Stampin' Up® slit punch (pg 140) to create a scallop edge on the pretty in pink paper. I have used my own decorative scissors to mimic the scallop edge on the white matte. Versamark (pg 145) has been used to stamp background on the card (used Fresh Fillers stamp set, pg 100). Petal Prints (pg68) & Favorite Teddy Bear (pg 46) are the images used for the front design. All I have done to get the smudged look around the colour cardstock and white matte is by using wedges of the stamping sponges (pg 143) dipped in Stamping' Up® ink stamp pads and sponged directly on the edges. Can also use sponge daubers (pg 143) to get similar effect. Ink colours used here are pixie pink, marigold morning and perfect plum. The bow on the flowers and glitter strip have been created using Stampin' Glitter® (pg 145) and Sticky strip (pg 142). It is very easy!! Just place strip of sticky strip where you want on the card, peel off the backing tape and sprinkle with Stampin' Glitter® (good idea to do this over some scrap paper, as glitter does like to go everywhere). Tap excess glitter off the card and you are left with glitter image. I LOVE IT!!! No more sticky mess with glue, and glitter where you don't want it. Best of all, the excess glitter from scrap paper can be put back into container ready for next time, wasting none. Have a go, it really adds a little 'bling' to your cards.
