Glitter Embossing

I have been working on some cards this last week. Trying out a new technique, that I have been wanting to try for sometime. Came up with this card and I absolutely love it!

I used scraps to make this card didn't have to cut into a single new sheet of paper! I am trying to use scraps more then just cutting into new card stock. 

So here is what I did (sorry don't have step by step pictures to go with how I did this card)

I took my card base and embossed the front with a Darice embossing folder. I then took crystal blue ink and Thistle ink and sponged over the top of the embossing. 

The next step was to give it the sparkle to accomplish this I did the dryer sheet technique. 

Took a used dryer sheet, some spray adhesive and glued it to the top of my card,

 trimmed down the dryer sheet to size.

 I then took my Prisma glitter and covered the dryer sheet. I let it set for a couple of hours as I wasn't sure what I was going to do next and had a few errands to run. 

When we got home I didn't like how the dryer sheet looked on the card,

 so I took it off and was left with just some glitter and the inked embossing. 

I then took my crystal blue card stock and cut two butterfly's with my cricut using the Artiste cartridge, along with the tag at the bottom for my sentiment. 

I again used Thistle ink and stamp set Bugs and Hugs for the sentiment and the sponging around the tag. Used some pearls from my stash to add that little extra something, 

I am very happy with the way this turned out! 

Here is the close up where you can see the glitter, really the pictures just don't do it justice though. 

Hope you enjoy this card as much as I do. 

Happy Scrapping!
