Birthday Card for Hubby

Hi ladies!

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.

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!

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.
