Here's a card that I made last night for hubby's birthday today...nothing like cutting it close. I was so afraid that the stickles were not going to dry so I could cut the image out, so I helped it along by using my heat gun (usually I just let it air dry over night) & still letting it dry for a few hours then cutting it out before I went to bed last night. Whew! It came out good. I had made another card too that I wanted to try, but it's a good thing I had made two birthday cards 'cause the other one bombed :( I tried to versamark on black cs then put dazzling diamonds on it, it looked beautiful & I really don't know what to do with DD so I used the heat gun too. I didn't touch it for awhile but when I ran my finger over the DD it all came off. OMG! What did I do wrong? It was my first attempt at using DD & I so like the way it looked & don't know what I did wrong. Dawn is the DD queen, she makes some beautiful cards using DD. Help me out Dawn PLEASE!!! Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Well anyway here is the card that I gave to hubby. It looks so much better in real life, it sparkles so much. Take care & thanks for stopping by.
Hugs...Rita

This is a beautiful card Rita, I know your husband is going to love it! I think the icing (bling) is so cool too.

This card came out great, the cake is so yummy
DD only sticks to something sticky like glue or the stickles. You would have to use a sparkly embossing powder with the Versamark and then heat for the same look without the loose glitter, like Irridecent Ice. HTH
Love the card!
What you mean by DD?
lol
Great card Rita
Your card came out so pretty. I am sure that your husband loved it. As for the DD you need to use glue to adhere it to your image then pour the DD on. I use the Zig 2 way glue for my images. Hope this helped. :)

try using a glue stick for your DD, sister. That'll do.
