Hello! Today I'm joining the PTI Blog Hop. This time it's all about sequins. They're popping up everywhere! I'll keep this short so you can keep hopping :)
For this card I started with an Ikat background and a vellum stripe. Then I die cut the letters a few times from the Modern Alphabet dies, stacked all the die cuts and adhered black flat sequins to the letters.
A tip: cut the top layer for the letters from scor-tape adhered to cardstock. It works great for adhering the sequins and there will be no "glue globs" showing through the sequins little holes.
Thanks for stopping by and happy hopping!
