However for my first Sparkle Medium make, rather than a new stencil I used a very old brass one that I've hardly ever used. The sparkle is perfect for the dragonflies, and the lovely raised texture makes it look as if they are fluttering over the surface of the card.
A hint of colour from watercolour pencils and a simple stamped sentiment (one of the very first stamps I bought, around 20 years ago!) are all that it needed to finish the card without detracting from that sparkle. Have you noticed that nowadays I often make one layer cards from choice, rather than groaning when I see it as part of a challenge? Is it a sign that my CAS-ability is growing up?
I would like to share this with
Less is More - Use something tactile (that raised glitter surface is VERY tactile!)
Retro Rubber - Summertime - what could be more summery than dragonflies dancing over a lily pond in the morning sunshine?
CAS on Sunday - Thank You
Haven't tried it with brass stencils yet but this looks lovely
ReplyDeleteWonderful art work.
ReplyDeleteThe Sparkle Medium adds the most beautiful shimmer - it looks fab! Great way to add texture for our LIM tactile challenge. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Jane. I love the sparkles. Thank you for joining us at CAS on Sunday. Luv, Wilma
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Jane. I have a very similar brass stencil but with bees, I must use it more often. Isn't it funny how one layer cards used to make us panic but sometimes we just feel so comfortable creating one! Gorgeous CAS creation.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us.

Such a pretty CAS design. Thank you for joining us over at CAS on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteLoving your textural elements !
ReplyDeleteCAS-tastic and I for one can't resist a bit of sparkle and love how you've used it to create such wonderful tactile elements to the card. Superbly coloured too and super clever. Thanks for sharing and playing along at Less is More this week.
