Creating Glitz Gel Stencil Backgrounds + Video

Good morning! Heather here today to share a couple cards using a couple of different Background Stencils from Pretty Pink Posh with Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel. I’m sharing two different ways to use these products together – both with lots of shimmer and sparkle!

For this first card, I paired up the Birthday Background Stencil with Turquoise Glitz Glitter Gel, holding it in place with a bit of Purple Tape. SO fun and sparkly! Then I added the Balloon Shaker die cut from white cardstock with a bit of vellum tucked behind to help those words pop. I also added a secondary sentiment using Party Friends stamp set, heat embossed on a bit of black cardstock. Final finishing touch was a bit of jute string tied around the bottom of the balloon.

The second version was created by attaching the Tropical Background stencil with Pixie Spray, then blending Distress Oxides in Cracked Pistachio, Dried Marigold, Abandoned Coral, and Wilted Violet over the background, then using White Glitter Glitz Gel over the background before removing the stencil. It dries sparkly and clear, so you can see that fun ink blending over the background! Finished this one off very similar to the first, but using the Aloha Shaker Die and Tropical Birds stamp set for the additional sentiment.

I love the background stencils from Pretty Pink Posh – how they add such a fun look to your backgrounds! And pairing them up with Glitter Gels makes them even more fun – especially when you can think of more ways to use them! Which version is your favorite?

Thanks so much for stopping by today – have an absolutely wonderful day!
