Sequin confetti, of course! Hi, I'm here today with a bunch of ATC's. I am taking part in a swap you see... 52 cards themed 'Love, Kindness and Hope' and in return, I get 52 cards from all over the world made by different artists.
I start with a master board - a big piece of watercolour paper that will eventually be cut down to size. I made three sheets with different colours using mainly Shimmerz sprays in different finishes. I added some stencilling with Dazzlerz paste for some texture.
Next, I moved on to the fun bit - filling up 52 little glassine bags with sequin confetti. I won't list all of the sequin mixes I used as there are far too many! You can find them all here!
I printed out the phrase "throw kindness around like confetti" and trimmed them down to small slips of paper. I have all my elements ready now so I set up my sewing machine. I picked a background, a glassine bag of confetti and a sentiment slip and ran them through my sewing machine on a straight stitch.
It was good fun whizzing them all through not having to worry about straight lines!
They've now been parcelled up and posted and the tricky bit begins... I have to wait for them to be swapped and posted back! I'm not very good at waiting!!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Laura, They are brilliant. Hope you get loads of nice ATCs back.
