Hi friends, today I am finally sharing this colorful fandom-inspired card trio using the Sparkle Friends stamp set from Kindred Stamps. I started by ink blending two A2 panels with one of my favorite rainbow combinations of Distress Oxides using Saltwater Taffy, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, and Shaded Lilac. Once I was happy with the blends, I layered the Half Tone Circle stencil over each panel and spread different Astro Pastes through the stencil for lots of shimmer and texture. One background used a silver paste for a bold metallic look, while the other used a more translucent sparkle paste that allowed the rainbow underneath to really shine through. After everything dried, I trimmed the panels down slightly to leave a crisp white border around each finished card.

For the first card, I used the sparkly silver-haired character and layered him onto a vellum circle with a stamped sentiment banner. I hid the foam adhesive behind the character and banner so the vellum would stay clean and transparent against the glittery background. For the other two cards, I split the second rainbow panel in half and added holographic cardstock strips along the sides for extra shine. I stamped coordinating sentiments directly onto the card fronts and popped up the characters with thin foam adhesive so they stayed the stars of the design. I love how simple these cards ended up being while still feeling bright, happy, and full of personality. Sometimes rainbow ink blending and a little sparkle are all a card really needs.
