In today's video tutorial, I'll be sharing seven easy ways to make your card sparkle and shine!  What could be a better test subject for all that sparkle and shine, than a Magical Unicorn?  More specifically, Pinkfresh Studios' Magical Unicorn!

I've had this stamp set in my stash for a little while....it was on the top of my list from the products I saw at Creativation 2018.  I've just been so stinkin busy that I haven't had time to play with it until now!  And I'm so glad I did!

Here's the quick list of the sparkly techniques and supplies I'll be sharing.

  1. Sparkle Embossing Powder (Hero Arts Black Sparkle, Wow Metallic Gold Sparkle)
  2. Shimmer Spritz (Tsukineko Sparkle Shimmer Spritz)
  3. Shimmer Pens (Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Pen)
  4. Shimmer Ink (Delicata Golden Glitz Pigment Ink)
  5. Sparkly Embellishments (rhinestones, jewels and sequins)
