Create sparkly die cut cupcakes with Julie using Gansai Tambi watercolors, Tonic Glimmer Paste and HAI sequins!
There is no quicker, easier way to make a card than to use a set with some terrific solid shapes, like this UWF set called Sweet Sprinkles by Concord & 9th for Ellen Hutson, LLC!
I’m topping off these adorable cupcakes with some custom Glimmer Paste “Frosting”!
TIPS:
- Make sure your initial watercolor work is fully dry before adding black paint spatters; notice in the video how Julie uses an acrylic block and a paint brush to achieve a fine and controlled spatter effect.
- Warped watercolor paper? Sandwich it between a folded sheet of typing paper and run it through your die cutting machine a few times to “press” it flat—no waiting overnight!
- Versamark can not only be used for heat embossing, but also “watermarking”; use it over any color card stock to get impressions a shade deeper/darker than the paper color.
- Glimmer Paste sets up fairly quickly; have a bowl of water to toss your tools into for much easier clean up later on.
