Technique Thursday ~ Diamond Dust Technique

Welcome to another edition of Technique Thursday! I'm super excited to share this technique with you, it's called Diamond Dust and it's been a favorite of mine for years because it includes one of my favorite things, glitter! It's very easy to do, and of course adding glitter to anything makes it better, so why not add lots of glitter to the whole image?!?! Here we go...

Stamp image as desired, for this one I used Serene Snowflakes with Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo & Basic Gray ink:


















Apply Versamark to the entire image, by laying your stamped image on Grid Paper and blotting Versamark all over it:




















Next, cover the entire image with Heat & Stick Powder:
















Once you've got the entire image covered in Heat & Stick powder, use your Heat Tool to "melt" the powder until your image looks like this:


















Next, cover the melted Heat & Stick powder with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter:














Finally, be sure to use the Heat Tool to set the glitter into the melted Heat & Stick powder.

Here's the finished product...I just had to take these pictures outside so you can see just how sparkly they really are!
