Rainbows For Days

Alison's Random Thoughts

By Alison Heikkila

Hello! Alison here! It's time for a new card, and I am featuring a card with lots of beautiful sequins from Doodles Paper Playground. The stamp set I used is from The Ink Road  called Full Circle.

Doodles Paper Playground has released 6 brand new Sparkle Blends yesterday and as I was looking at them, I just couldn't decide which to use first. So I decided to use them all! Sort of. Here's what I did. I started off by choosing the circle images from Full Circle that I wanted to use. Then, I picked a different Memento Ink color from Imagine for each circle, creating a rainbow. After stamping them all, I used a 1" circle punch to cut them out.

I arranged the circles on my card and popped up the orange and blue with foam tape for dimension. Then I began to choose my sequins. I picked through my entire collection of Sparkle Blends, though I did try to focus on using the new release as much as possible. The large orange, large holographic blue, and all of the small glitter sequins, for example, are from the new release blends. I laid out the sequins in rainbow order, trying to get a good color change throughout. When I was satisfied, I glued all of the sequins down with On Point Glue from Imagine. I heat embossed my sentiment, added that, and stuck it all down on to a black card base.

I love the playful look of this card. It was fun to make, and really didn't take long at all. You've just got to check out the new release Sparkle Blends from Doodles Paper Playground. They are positively beautiful! You can only get them HERE at White Rose Crafts LLC. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

I present to you, the August Sparkle Blends Release!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sparkle Blends:

Be-Leaf in Yourself

This festive seasonal blend is packed full of tiny little leaves and sequins in various textures, finishes and shades of orange, red, yellow & brown—making it perfect for all of your autumn projects.

Sparkle Blends:

Very Cranberry

This blend combines rich red and brown tones with just a touch of beautiful gold and green. Its full of glitter, metallic, iridescent & matte elements, including red crystals, gold micro beads and multi-hued no hole beads.

Sparkle Blends:

Trick or Treat

Our first Halloween blend is admittedly at little bit obvious with its bright shades of Green, Orange, Yellow & Purple, to say nothing of the ghost and jack-o-lantern confetti and candy corn and monster eyes Fimo shapes, but that doesn’t make it any less fun!

Sparkle Blends:

Something Wicked

If the darker side of Halloween is more your speed, deep shades of purple & blue, black & white stripes, and sparkly touches of silver nestled glossy black base should be just what the shaker ordered! For a fun little touch, we’ve added glossy black witch & bat confetti & little Fimo circles with spooky images.

Sparkle Blends:

Bubblegum Ice

This girly blend of icy blues and pastel pinks has a little bit of everything-diamond, star, & flower confetti beside traditional round sequins in a range of finishes from transparent pastels to holographic metallic. You can’t go wrong with this blend for all of your magical & non-traditional Christmas projects!

Sparkle Blends:

Majestic

This feminine blend is gorgeous in shades of pink, white, and sparkly gold and silver. It has diamonds, hearts, star bursts, stars and for the piece-de-resistance, little unicorn head confetti to add a perfect, majestic touch to the most magical of projects!

Hello Everyone! 

I am here today sharing my first card that I made using a sequin mix from this months new release!

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

For this card I wanted to do a blended back ground with a stencil. 

I used water color paper and taped my stencil on top of my base panel.

I use Distress Oxide colors that reminded me of cranberries to go with my sequins mix. 

Aged Mahogany, Fired Brick and Tattered Rose

I flicked some perfect pearl water on my panel and also added some gold flecks with gold paint.

I stamped my images from the Lawn Fawn Thanks A Bushel set on the same watercolor paper. 

I colored them with Zig Clean Color markers.

I used the Lawn Fawn Slide On Over circles for my shaker frame.

I added my base panel to my card base and stamped the sentiment from the same set.

I used the same die to cut circles from fun foam for my shaker well.

I measured out my sequins and added the shaker window.

I added two layers of the foam to my images so they would be the same height as my shaker.

I finished the card by adding a few sequins from the mix to the front of the card.

For this card I used the Sparkle Blend Very Cranberry from the new release - Available Today!! 

I am really loving the flat glitter sequins! 

They are my favorite new addition to the sparkle blends this release!

There are more great Sparkle Blends and a large assortment of items for all your crafty projects over at White Rose Crafts!
