Sequins are popping up everywhere on paper crafting projects and
now's your chance to try out this new trend! With the variety of colors
and shapes available, the sky is the limit with the creative
possibilities! Paper crafters use them to accent the centers of flowers, add them as
borders, fill shakers, or create random splashes of sparkle.
I love the card Betsy made a few weeks ago using the "bokeh (boh-kay)" technique so on this card I played around with the stars and this technique. All I can say is that it is very fun to do! Underneath the sequins the stamped stars are a little darker and then gradually fade lighter and lighter.
