Directions

Background Stamp = Sunday International
Radiant Pearls
Whiska Stippler Brush
Clear Embossing Powder
Black Hot Melt Glue (or color of your choice)
KatTrax Working Mat for Hot Melt Glue
Crafting Foil, such as an iridescent metallic
Sticky Dots adhesive or Xyron (or 3M) Crafting Machine
Vellum & Glossy Card Stocks for Layering

Apply a thin amount of Radiant Pearls to stamp by lightly sweeping Whiska Stippler brush across stamp. Press stamp to your paper then emboss with clear embossing powder. Color the paper by swirling and stippling at least three colors of Radiant Pearls. Trim your card and layer onto a variety of progressively larger papers. For best adhesion use either Xyron adhesive or Sticky Dots.

Write the word Harmony with Black Hot Melt Glue on a Working Mat by slowly squeezing the glue gun trigger. When you come to the end of the squeeze, pause in your writing, then slightly overlap where you left off as you squeeze the trigger again. You can write the word on paper first, then place it under the transparent working mat and trace it. Don't touch the mat with the tip of your glue gun as this will make the glue come out too thin and flat. It will be difficult to handle later.

After the glue has cooled, firmly press the dull side of crafting foil to it. Then lift off the strip. Continue this process until the glue is well covered. Any areas that don't take the film well will blend in because the glue is colorful. Carefully peel your word off the mat and apply adhesive to the back: either run the word through a Xyron machine or  press it against  Sticky Dots adhesive. Next, place and press the word into place on your card.
