TodayÂ’s Ways to Use It Challenge asks us to use sequins. IÂ’m also using one the Technique Challenges ( TLC533 ) from a few weeks back which had us making a stencil using a hot glue gun.
I first made the stencil on a hot glue mat, peeled it up (when cool) and placed it on my card stock. Then I sponged on the colors from a rainbow pad and spritzed it a bit using some thinned down white acrylic paint in a fine mister. I think I actually liked the stencil better than the result, lol. It looked a little undefined so I used a Micron pen to sort of outline the petals. You can see the stencil in front of my card.
I die cut the layers, stamped the greeting, added a fussy cut umbrella and attached the sequins (upside down, just for a change).
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff
