I had planned to post this card today. The tree is made using the Petite Pennants Builder Punch. I also used the modern label for the tree trunk and the jewelry tag punch for the fence. The sentiment is from Word Play. Then came the science experiment. I was reading a thread on SCS about applying glitter to 3D objects and wondered if spray sealer would work. I don't really like using the spray adhesive because it's so sticky.
I sprayed my card with acrylic sealer (available in most craft or hardware stores) It’s gives you the look of versamark with iridescent ice but no warping, way quicker and you can use it for 3D projects.
I should’ve taken an in between shot. The first time I sprayed, it dried quickly so only a tiny bit of glitter stuck which suited this card more. The second coat gave me complete coverage. I’m guessing once the card stock was sealed it didn’t soak in and dry as fast. I shook off the excess glitter then sprayed it with two more coats to seal it. On this sample the glitter makes it look like a snow storm but this would be a pretty technique on a more suitable card.
Very cute card and knowing you, you will find a "suitable card" to use the "snow storm" glitter affect on. TFS the pics and tips. :)
