Colour your die-cuts quickly with glitter

Colour your die-cuts quickly with glitter
 
Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Today I'm showing you a fun and different way to colour your die-cut flowers and it is such a quick technique! Here I have used a beautiful floral die from Crafty Merkai, and along with some adhesive sheets you can colour die-cuts quickly with glitter. This is a great to use up glitter in your stash and make cards on demand. I've used this technique for a bold and contrasting birthday card, but this technique would suit a Christmas card with glitters in beautiful Christmas colours.

Written tutorial and photos for Colour your die-cuts quickly with glitter: 

 Start off by adhering Altenew Double-sided adhesive sheets to white card. Next, die-cut out from this with the adhesive sheet side facing up using the Scarlet Floral Para-dies from Crafty Meraki.

 
Remove the adhesive backing on the die-cuts so only the flower head is revealed and cover with a colour of glitter of your choosing. Next, remove the remainder of the adhesive backing sheet and cover the stem with a green glitter. 
For the background, emboss a piece of Nautical Hero Hues cardstock with the Spellbinders Loops Embossing folder, trimming this down to add to a white card base. Next, adhere the flowers on top with foam pads to add some dimension. 
To finish the card off, add a sentiment over the flowers. Here I have hot foiled the Yana Sentiments Splatter Sentiments hot foil plate onto matching Nautical Hero Hues, along with a small happy from the same set. The larger sentiment was die-cut with the Yana's Layering Script sentiments die-set. 
Lastly, a few gold sequins were added to embellish the card.
