Glitter and Sparkle


Welcome to Sparkle N Sprinkle's
 May 1 New Reveal Blog Hop!



This month we are doing something a little different.  Instead of releasing new stamp sets, all the Designers have been creating projects with Dreamweaverstencils, using various techniques and products.

Be sure to visit the SNS Blog all month long, as well as the Designers' blogs (you can click on the Designers' names to go directly to their blogs) to see different techniques used with the stencils.   Each Designer always posts 2 different projects to the SNS Blog and 4 different projects to their personal blogs each month.   
Some of the techniques you see throughout the month is dry embossing with your stencil; double glitter technique; combining embossing pastes with glitter, embossing powders, flock, and/or guilded flakes; using the embossing paste as a resist; double embossing paste technique and lots of other fun ideas.

 All Dreamweaver stencils, soap, and embossing pastes are 20% off until May 3.  So once you finish the blog hop, head on over to the store and start shopping.  
Large Feather is the stencil featured with this month's Technique Video Kit.



On May 3, one GRAND PRIZE WINNER will be selected from the comments left on the Designers' blogs.  Please leave a comment with each Designer in order to be eligible for the Grand Prize.  You never know who the Mystery Designer will be that has the winning comment.  

The winner will be able to choose $55 worth of any products listed under theStencils and Templates category, plus mica powders (Pearl Ex) and of course,glittersembossing powdersflock, and sticker paper or adhesive sheets.

The Grand Prize Winner will be announced on June 3 on the SNS Facebook page, the Designer's blogs, and here on the SNS Blog.  

We are pleased to have Diane and Ashley, two of our 2015 Guest Designers,  joining us again this month. They will be our Guest Designers for the months of April, May, and June.

Eret
Anne

Last month Diane was the Mystery Designer with the winning comment.  Wonder who it will be this month???

Hi All!!
This is my second month guest designing with Sparkle N Sprinkle.
This month it is all about stencils,
which by now I am sure you know I love!!

Now a little bit about how my card was created!
I started with a grey metallic card stock panel to stencil on my
Dreamweavers Stencil Bird & Branches (DR-LL526) on
using Dreamweaver Silver Embossing Paste (DR-DSP)
and applying with a Palette Knife (DR-DPK).


While the embossing paste was still wet, I applied
embossing powder  Midnight Madness (EP252),
then heat set it with my heat gun....it is so pretty and full of sparkle!

I set it aside to dry completely....(I left it alone overnight)

I cut a black panel that I added an Anna Griffin die to for the base.

I used  Black Detail (EP171) embossing powder on the sentiment 
which is from Shabby Chic Bird House (481).


The die cut and panel were adhered with

Thank you for visiting with me today...
don't forget to leave a comment on each blog
on the hop, one lucky person
will win a stencil package and it just might be YOU!!!!

and will go to Shona's blog next...have fun hopping!!
