Twinkling gemstones that sparkle, are very special effects to add to your creations.
They can make a nice card truly stunning when used in the right way.
These lovely
embellishments
come in all shapes and sizes, and can be used in a multitude of ways.
Use them as a centre to your flowers, or even make a bouquet out of a few grouped together. Put them round an image to accentuate it. Make a border around the edges of your card.
Lay them out on your card first, to see the effect, before you glue them down. Use a glue pen to stick small ones onto your card.
Sakura's Quickie glue pen goes on blue, but dries clear, leaving no tell tale marks.
Both jewels and glitters have been used on this card. The petals are sprinkled with holographic glitter and the centre of the flower is a brad.
Even the Dragonfly wings have been sparkled up for a wonderful effect.
Keep any small, empty pots for your jewels, to keep them safe. I use small moisturiser jars, washed and ready to put them in.
Keep all the colours seperate, that way you will be able to find the one you need quickly.
Don't be afraid to try different things. They really are cheap enough to play around with.
