Outta This World

Ink Stained Roni with you today to take you on a trip far far away to another galaxy with my outta this world shaker tag using one of the new Sparkle Blends - Nebula. 

The Nebula blend is amazing - filled with purple, black, green, iridescent sequins, printed, holographic, Fimo stars and even glow in the dark sequins. Such a beautiful combination of color, textures and styles.

To create this shaker tag I die-cut the stars from the cover tag, adhered a piece of acetate on the back side and set about outlining each star with foam tape. The wells were then filled with this amazing shaker blend and covered with a second piece of acetate (to hold everything in place). I covered the backing tag with Rinea Silver/Silver Starstruck foiled paper to really make the sequins colors pop. This tag was attached to the shaker piece. 

I then covered each of the star windows with the cut away portion and flicked frost (metallic white) watercolor paint over the entire tag and let it dry. The cover-up stars were then removed and a few select sequins from the Nebula mix were affixed to the front of the tag. A bit of sparklie fiber and this shaker tag was set to go. It would make a great piece for a card, in a scrapbook, as a gift tag and more.

Reach for the Stars

Hi, it's Rhiannon. Today I have a card using the "Nebula" Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground. I really like the big sequins that's in this Blend. They look like planets. I liked the idea of doing a nebula as the background, for the Nebula Blend.

First I cut a small mat of cardstock and inked blended it with Distress Oxides in Peeled Paint, Seedless Preserves, and Black Soot. After it was dry, I took the stars from the Hero Arts' Dreams are Made stamp set and stamped it with VersaMark Ink. Then I embossed it with Detail Silver Embossing Powder from Stampendous. I repeated this a bunch of times until I was happy with the background.

Then I took the sentiment, which was from the Voyager stamp set from AALL & Create and stamped it on a separate piece of cardstock. I split the sentiment in to 2 lines, instead of how it is in one line. I cut it out and I added color with Memento Markers. The colors matched the background really well. I used Tuxedo Black, Elderberry, and Pistachio.

Next I poured out some of the Nebula Sparkle Blend on to a piece of scrap paper, and I placed the sequins where I wanted them on the card. I glued them down with On Point Glue and I attached the background to my black card base.

 I liked how I embossed the silver stars. This Blend has some glow in the dark stars in it. I think they're cool, and I added 2 to my card. The "planet" sequins in this Blend are really unique and fun. I know I'll use it again soon. Don't forget to visit the new Sparkle Blends Shop on Etsy. Thanks for stopping by!
