Let's Sparkle Christmas card with video tutorial

Hi everyone,

It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about "Let's Sparkle". And we're showcasing Brutus Monroe products. So if you have any, please use them in your project(s).

December is the month of Christmas, and I really have to make my Christmas cards, the time is running out now ... So a great time to make one for this challenge. I started with Worn Linen Expanding Mousse (thanks Marzena) as a base layer. This makes your paper metallic and gives it a little bit of a resist layer. Then I used the Starry stencil (I have the STAMPtember version, but there is a full stencil of these stars) and applied the Brutus Monroe Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze with it.



 

When the glaze was dry I started to apply color, first Nuvo Shimmer Powder Storm Cloud, I never realized that it was actually dark blue and not a grey like a thought, LOL! Had always used it with other colors, but that gave me the idea for the rest of the colors and then used Infusions In The Navy together with Black Knight. These colors work very well with the Metallic-3 Kraftstock and with the Glitter Glaze. From the Metallic-3 Kraftstock I have cut out out the letters and the Stars of Wonder.
