Glittery Hello with Lawn Fawn

Good morning friends! I hope that you're all doing well and staying safe this week. It's crazy how so much has changed in just a few weeks!

I have a card to share with you today that I made with some new to me products. I've really wanted to try glitter gel, so I experimented with some Gina K white glitter gel this weekend and I created this card!

One of my favorite background dies is the Fancy Lattice Backdrop from Lawn Fawn, so I decided to use that as a stencil for my card! To create a stencil from a backdrop die, I used the die to cut a piece of acetate. Sometimes its tricky to get all of the details cut, but using a metal adapter plate helps to get all of the cuts. I like to use acetate because then I can reuse the stencil that I created!

Once the stencil was created, I die cut a piece of Ballet Slipper cardstock with the Outside In Stitched Square Stackables die. I laid the stencil on top of the cardstock and ink blended pink ink onto the background. I wanted there to be a little bit of pink behind the white glitter. I then used a paint spatula that I found in my craft desk to smooth the glitter gel onto the cardstock. It was fun to spread it all around the card! Once I was done, I gently peeled back the stencil and let the background die.

Once the background was dry, I attached it to a 4 1/4" square white card base. I used the Louie's ABCs die to cut the hello letters from pink shimmer cardstock and attached them to the background. Then, I white heat embossed the rest of the sentiment with stamps from the Reveal Wheel Sentiments set. Here's a closer look at the sentiment and background:

The glitter gel is so shimmery and fun, and I know I'll be using it on many more cards!

Thanks so much for visiting today and I hope your day is great! :)
