Sending Thanks for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello, everyone and happy Saturday!! It's my turn to post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog.

I have a couple of cards to share with you today featuring the new A Big Thanks 928 stamp set.

Using a stencil, I applied Nuvo Glimmer Paste Moonstone for texture and sparkle on the bottom layer.

Here you can see the texture. Using a Super-Adhesive Sheets, I cut out a Sue Wilson Flora die and covered it with Hyacinth glitter.

To the bottom of the Marianne Passe Partout Round die, I added drops of Nuvo Jewel Drops Simply White.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Tucked beneath are Elizabeth Craft Leafy Branch, Elizabeth Craft Dandelion Fluff, Impression Obsession Leaf Cluster and Memory Box Fine Cut Leaves.

After brushing an Anti Static Bag over paper, using a Tim Holtz Stamp Platform, the sentiments were stamped with a Versamark Embossing Ink Pad.  Sending was heat embossed with Black Detail and Thanks with Venus Violet. It was then cut out with an Avery Elle Dotted die.
