Be Merry and Bright

A little pink, a little silver, may your days be merry and bright

is what this card is all about.

The last release for Tutti Designs was all stained glass.

I designed 3 cards for each of the dies in 3 different techniques.

This is one of them using the Poinsettia Stained Glass die.

If you visit my blog often, you know I love coloring on vellum.

Normally I stamp on the vellum with a die ink,

then flip over and color.

But because this was a die, I used a product I have had in my stash

for quite awhile and really love it 'Ken Oliver's Stick It.

You place it on the 'backside' of your card stock,

then run it through your machine and then stick it down where

you want it, this case being the vellum.

Then I simply trimmed along the outside,

flipped it over and colored with my Copics.

I like using the Copics as it gives a nice soft, natural look.

I showed one of the other techniques I used HERE,

using glitter and coloring over it with Copics.

It does not hurt your copics as you press very lightly if at all

as the pen just flows over the glitter ( at least the SNS glitter I used, I am sure other glitters might react differently so always practice first)
and you run your pen across

scrap paper before you put it away!

I also added a bit of 
Nuvo Crystal Glitter Drops Silver Moondust 
to the flower centers.
