Let’s Simple Sparkle Your Card

Begin by cutting the card front from white cardstock to 3.75×5. Using Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool I added colour to the top right and bottom left corners of the cardstock.

Using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser, add a few strips to the top and bottom of this Simple Mixed Media Card. Next I added the teal colour foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Variety Colors to the adhesive sections.

Layer More Sparkle

Grab the Dual Tip Glue Pen, stencil of your choice and some fabulous glitter. This is the next step for this Simple Mixed Media Card. Using a palette knife and a generous glob of the liquid adhesive from the Dual Tip Glue Pen, drag the adhesive across the stencil over the corners of the card front. Add the glitter and tap off the excess. Let this dry completely.

Once dry, add the sentiment to the card using black ink.

Finish off the Card

Once dry, mat the card front in white cardstock using the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and then add the white cardstock card base using Crafty Foam Tape White.

Add the stamped and coloured butterfly to the card using Adhesive Dots Micro.
