After my glitter rant yesterday, what do I see today on Sharon Harnist's tag, but more glitter. Sharon's style is always so filled with sparkle and elegance.
I started by trying to replicate her background with the tools I had. I embossed white cardstock using Embossalicious Regency Swirls, and then I embossed with Versamark. Since I don't have and airbrush machine, I sprayed on Dragonfly Glimmer Mist and wiped away the excess using a baby wipe. I also liked her idea of attaching the inky background to another tag base as a frame.
I will confess I tried glittering my reindeer. I die cut them and then added lots of stickles ... and ended-up with a glittery, mucky mess ... so into the trash they went
I started over by die cutting my reindeer from DCWV Glitter paper ... much more my style. I added glittery recycled snowflakes from one of last year's holiday cards (thanks Cyndie) and stayed with the same *believe* sentiment to finish.
I'm also joining the Make Your Own Background Challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
This is beautiful! Your background turned out gorgeous with the spray. I had to do some old fashioned sponging :)
