I created this card using a design from the Silhouette Design Store, an Altenew stencil, and Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Kisses.
I wish you a beautiful day!
To create the mandala, I mixed some Lavender and Silver Chrome Glitter Kiss together on a glass media mat. I placed the Altenew stencil over a piece of Multifarious cardstock and secured it with a couple small pieces of blue low-tack painter’s tape. I used a scraper from the Simon Hurley Paste Tool Set to spread the Glitter Kiss over the stencil. I removed the stencil and cleaned it immediately with soap and water so the product wouldn’t harden on it. I set the mandala aside for a couple days while I worked on another project.
(I’ve found that spritzing the Glitter Kisses (and Cosmic Shimmer Metallic Gilding Polishes, too) with water keeps them moist and pliable. I use a Ranger Mister and spritz the product in their containers a couple times when I’ve finished using them.)
There were several parts of the baptism dress design that could have been used. I decided to cut out the back piece twice (with my Cameo 4) to make the front and back of the dress. I hand cut the mandala out and positioned it on the dress to get an idea of where I wanted to place it, then turned it over to put Scor-Tape on the back. I attached it to the dress and cut off the excess.
I put two pieces of Scor-Tape, one on each side, at the top of the dress to adhere the front to the back. I threaded some ribbon through the two small holes, that the cameo had cut, and tied a bow. An additional piece of ribbon was added to make an empire waist and to add more detail to the dress.
To finish the card, I used my laptop to type Tillie’s full name, the date she was born, and the date she was baptized; then printed it off and included it on the inside of the card.
