Copic colored glitter paper

This simple card uses the Reverse Butterfly Collage die from Memory Box adhered to glitter paper that I colored with Copic markers, blending them from yellow-green-blue to purple.  I then stamped a colored dot in each butterfly body area in similar rainbow fashion an placed a Nuvo Crystal Drops of similar color on top of that.  The sentiment and banner die are by Stampin' Up!  This was my last card that I completed for the Online Card Class- Sparkle and Shine.

Nuvo Glimmer Paste Card

These two cards used a My Favorite Things die (stitched CU Comp-Diag.) in both the vertical and horizontal layouts.  I used some bright blue glitter paper, mounted it on a panel I had water-colored some time ago (just waiting for the right project), then used other paper that I had water-colored for the Altenew Geometric Menagerie stamps/dies.  I heat embossed those images with WOW Black Glint (one of my favorite black embossing powders).  Used the same embossing for the sentiments found in the same Altenew stamp set.  Added a few sequins and a glossy raised heart with Nuvo Crystal Drops.

I hope you enjoyed my card creations for the class.  I had fun using some new products and techniques.  Soon I will post some foiled cards as I had the good fortune of winning one of the classes give-a-ways, the Gina K. designs Fancy Foils and Foil Mates and dies.  Just waiting for their arrival!!
