Sparkles with Frau Pony

Hello Everyone!
Martina here again with you.
Today it's all about the WOW Sparkles - and I have a little YT video for you. You can watch me creating these two cards on my Youtube channel - *here* is the link
I absolutely love using the beautiful WOW Sparkles for my cardmaking projects!
I usually use it with stencils and the "Tacky when Dry" Medium from TCW.
It is super easy to use: I apply it through an (Alexandra Renke) stencil with a pallet knife, remove (and rinse!) the stencil and set it aside to dry completely.

After everything is dried, I simply pour my Sparkles over the surface, make them a bit more stick with pressing/rubbing the Sparkles into the glueing parts and finally removing excess Sparkles with a brush.

For my two example cards I have been using WOW Sparkles in "Santorini" and "Frosted Petals".  In my experience, the finer the particles are, the more of these sparkly bits and pieces stick to the stencilled parts.

Quick Sparkle Xmas Tags written tutorial:For the first trio of tags, I'm using double-sided tape to adhere the sparkles down. I've trimmed a piece of Kraft card down to A5 and placing strips of the double-sided tape horizontally across the card.  To add a little more interest to tags, I'm using two widths of tape -1/4" and 1/8" wide.

VIDEO - Creating Sparkles Glitter Embellishments with Jenny

Hi Everyone!




Have you been having fun playing along with our Embellishments Challenge?   Did you know you can also use WOW! Sparkles glitter to create shiny glossy embellishments for your projects - I show you how in this video which you can check out over on the WOW! YouTube channel.



These are so sparkly in real life!  Here's how I created the cards.  For my first, I used an A2 panel of WOW! White cardstock, and overlaid the Altenew Milky Way stencil.  I did some easy quick ink blending with Catherine Pooler Stone Blue ink -  I chose this ink as it co-ordinates really well with the Twinkerbelle WOW! Sparkles.  I flipped the stencil to the other side of the panel and inked again. I wasn't super careful to get a perfect blend as I wanted a little fade here and there.



I then created my own glitter paste with the Twinkerbelle Sparkles by mixing it in with some transparent embossing paste using a palette knife.  I LOVE doing this - WOW! carries such a diverse range of glitters, so…
