My contribution gives pride of place to the Dragonfly Cover Plate (part of the Spring Fling promotion - see below for details)
First I applied double sided adhesive to a piece of card.
I die-cut the cover plate from the coloured cardstock and applied it on top of the adhesive. I inlaid back into place several pieces, paying particular attention to the dragonfly body and wings.
I tried to apply the pieces as lightly as I could since I wanted to remove them later.
With the Dragonfly protected, I poured gold glitter all over the card.
Next I removed the card pieces from the wings and poured blue glitter on top. Taking off any remaining cardstock bits I applied the green glitter.
My sentiment is also glittered but this time I actually die-cut it from glitter paper, with the Wonderful Word Die (also in the Spring Fling promotion!!!)
Another look with the light shining on the glitter:

ReplyDeleteAh mais c'est super cette technique !!!
ReplyDeleteUne jolie combinaison de couleurs, glitters (que ça permet d'utiliser !) et grandes découpes ciselées, bravo Christine.
Il faut que j'essaie... Jamais fait encore, c'est astucieux même si c'est sans doute un peu délicat de retirer/replacer les zones pleines dans ce style de découpe j'imagine. En tout cas, ça me donne envie !
beautiful card..love these intricate dies so much..
ReplyDeleteThat is such a pretty cover plate...great card.
ReplyDeleteI love all the glimmer and shimmer on this gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteThat's a spectacular die-cut, and the glittery shimmer is just perfect for the dragonfly.
