Hi everyone ~
Today is my turn to post on the a2z Scrapbooking Supplies Blog, and I have a card to share:
I started by creating a stencil with the Hero Arts Triangle Background Die, and inked it sporadically with Soft Pool Ink to create a subtle background for my card. Then, I added the sentiment with Versamark and gold embossing powder, and placed the panel on a Soft Pool card base.
I'm happy with how this card turned out...and, my favorite thing is the enamel dots, which I created by baking Perler Beads on my cookie sheet. For a step-by-step tutorial, please check out my post at the a2z Scrapbooking Blog.

ReplyDeleteHi Barb! Though I've stopped by before, Karin sent me today through The Creative Blog Hop! I had no luck melting Perler beads!! Wish I still lived in NY, it would be worth the drive down to have you show me what I'm doing wrong!! Love your work, and your style...
