Star Moments

Hey kids!  Cindy back on the blog today to share a cool technique with sequins.  I've been using more and more sequins on my projects lately.  Love them :-) 

Steps to make the negative space filled with sequins:  (you could really use any shape for this)

Cut banner shape.  Cut star shape using center point feature.  Or you could use a punch.

Layer your cutout layer on top of the shadow layer.  Trace the shape onto the shadow layer.  Apply Glossy Accents or wet glue that dries clear to the shape plus a little outside the lines.  (looks like I got some glitter in the glossy accents there...opps...LOL!)

 Apply sequins in as many colors as you want.  Try to get them as close together as possible.  I just randomly placed mine.  You could use all one color or make a pattern or stripes.  Lots of fun possibilities. 

Flip your cutout over and apply pop dots.  Make sure you're close to the edges out of the way of your sequins when you stick it down.
