I recently saw a video on the internet which showed how to make your own sequins. I had to try it myself. You can see the video here: DIY Sequins. One of the members at Stamp TV linked us to this video and I am thrilled. I made a simple card design and dressed it up with my sequins I made from Haliographic Mirror card stock. That paper picks up colors from it's surroundings too so it is very versatile and works with many projects.
I happened to have some mirror card stock on hand so I knew as soon as I found the time I wanted to try this technique out. I think it is so cool! My images are from Gina K. Designs as are the inks. I have lots of music and guitar lovers in my family so I know this card will be a great collection to my own stash of cards.
I hope you can view the video and find ways of making your own sequins. It is a great way to use up scraps and save money too!
Thanks for stopping by and hope your day is wonderful!
God bless,
Verna

Wow Verna - I love this card. My hubby is a guitar nut - he is fiddling with it at present. Will email you with a little story - too long here lol
Fabulous....
I saw Lindsay's tutorial at Youtube just the other day and wondered if I had any mirror paper in my stash. Glad you made the sequins. Are there any tips for making them in addition to Lindsay's?
Fabulous, Verna, love it! I have that GKD set too, but haven't used it much. Yikes!
LOVE it Verna! You really did it!!! Was it fun? Great guitar card and the sequins are the perfect embellishment!!!!! Kind of like strobe lights!
What a unique and easy way to make the perfect embellishments for a card. Thanks for sharing Verna and love your example card.
