Pink Star Nebula {Pastel Marbling Revisited}

 

A while ago I made a card suing my pastel marbling technique that I just loved.

I decided I wanted to make a girl version!

 

 

Here are the direction again in case you missed them:

 

 

Steps for creating this marbled pastel background:

1. Fill shallow container with water

2. Use a craft knife to shave desired pastel colors onto water's surface

3. Swirl the colors together to achieve desired effect

4. Place paper onto surface of water and remove

{you can dip it more than once if you did not pick up enough color the first time}

5. Allow to dry and spray with a fixative to avoid smudging

 

 

For this card and the boy version I took it one step further. 

 I ran it through my Xyron sticker maker {colored side down}.

I carefully removed the release paper exposing the adhesive

and coated the entire piece in clear glitter.

 

This Faber Castell Pitt artist pen is perfect for fixing stamped impressions that don't stamp as solidly as you'd like, particularly with Versafine Onyx ink.  It makes it so easy to correct mistakes and is totally undetectable even on large sentiments and images.

I just love it!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Have an awesome weekend!
