Stamp of Approval MasterClasses!

Hi!
The MasterClasses have begun at Stamp Nation!!!! Squee! First up is "Creative Mediums for Card Making" taught by Faber-Castell!

I wanted to share a card I created using some fantastic Faber-Castell products!

How great is all of that texture?!?!? I used Glass Bead Glitter Gel along with a Mixed Media Stencil.  Instead of using it as a stencil, I adhered it to the card base with the gel.  I laid the Gel on pretty thick and let it dry for a few hours.  It made everything so shimmery!!! Then, I scribbled with Iridescent Gelatos (colors Stardust, Galaxy and Blue Moon) and blended them together with my fingers and a paper towel.

To finish off the card, I used the "happy" die from Catherine Pooler's Spot On Sentiments die bundle and stamped "birthday" from the Simply the Best stamp set.
