Hey there, it's time for Episode 2 of my Unicorn Picnic stamp set of the month series. Today is all about glitter!
They say.... "You can never have too much glitter". I am sure I have said that, and I believe that, whole heartedly! But is it true? Can I reach my glitter max. How much glitter can I put on a card before I tap out? In this episode and the making of these cards I set out to find out.
First we start out with a little bit of glitter, shine and shimmer.
For all of the card and all of the backgrounds I used the Starry Sky Stencil over an ink blended background.
For this background I used Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink and the Cloudy Stencil. Over that I used the Starry Sky Stencils and Deco Foil Metallix Gel in White Pearl. It has a very nice iridescent shine to it. I added some die cut glitter paper cloud for some more glitter. The stamped images are from the Unicorn Picnic set and the Winter Unicorn set. All the stamped image have clear Wink of Stella on them for shimmer.
Below you can see the inside of this card. With another cute unicorn.
For the second card I took things up a notch, adding more glitter.
The background on this card starts with the Cloudy stencil and Salty Ocean ink. The Starry Sky stencil was used again, with Glitz Glitter gel in Iridescent by Gina K.
I used a two way glue pen and Sparkle Dust glitter around all of the stamped images.
For the sparkle, or fairy dust around the unicorn I used the Lawn Fawn Glitter Pen to add to glimmer to them.
This is also a pull tab card. Because the pixie dust is causing the unicorn to fly. This card I idea was born when my daughter informed me that unicorns do not fly. Only pegasus do. Hmmm. I said my card has it's own story and so they do fly on my card. It all comes down to pixie dust!!! And when you pull the tab, up flies the unicorn!
See the inside of this card... I love using all different colors for my unicorns.
For the third card, I might have found my limit with glitter.
This background is Spun Sugar and Salty Ocean blended together on the card front, meeting in the middle for a blend, resulting in light purple.
I stenciled the Starry Sky stencil with Stickles Glitter Gel in Moon Dust.
I used the new Stitched Rainbow die set to make the rainbow for the front of this card. And to glitter it up, I used Lawn Fawn's chunky glitter. I ti show shiny and catches the light so well.
But is it too much????
I used the Reveal Wheel on this card so that this unicorn could fly over the rainbow. Moving the wheel caused the unicorn, who's attached to the wheel with a foam square, to move back and forth.
I left all the insides of these cards blank, so that at the appropriate time I could then add an additional sentiment.
