add some sparkle

Hello Friends, Happy Monday to you 🙂 I have some breaking news! Penny Black has a new designer in the house so I hope you will stop by the Penny Black blog today to welcome her.

simply stamped
I think it would be fun for you to  click over to see “who” she is & her beautiful simply stamped cards. To celebrate I have a simple stamped card for you.    ( sorry for the darker photo it’s so hard to photograph white on white)

This might have been the fastest card I have ever made. I already had the Spellbinder dies cut from my “Removable Ornament Card” you might have seen?  I dry embossed the ornament with this and used this glue pen to trace over the raised edges then sprinkled glitter on top. To be honest … if you don’t have a glue pen don’t try it. I work in a small areas at a time but, you will be surprised how quick it can be.

I used the new Marvy Le Plume alcohol markers that work just as good as Copic Markers. The colors I used are below but, the photos of the colors don’t look the same on my computer as the actual marker does. I hope you will give them a try for $2.99 you can’t beat it and I love the brush tip. If you are wondering what that blob on the left of this photo…it’s a Scrap Dot and it shows only at this angle.
I hope your week will be off to a good start. Thanks for coming by. Hugs, Kathy

    What a beautiful card Kathy. Love all the white space and such a clever idea to use a glue pen and glitter on the raised areas. It looks really effective!

    That is so effective with the glitter & the glue pen on the embossing. I love the simple elegance of the holly leaves with the way you have stamped off the circular panel. I love your black accenting of those leaves too.
