PTI March Blog Hop - Sequins

This month's PTI Blog Hop challenge is to create a project incorporating sequins.
This month's challenge is another I have not done before ... challenge accepted!  :)
If you would like to check things out for yourself, you can find out all about it here.




I had to order some sequins for this month's challenge.  I really wanted to get some yellow ones, but they sold out before I put my order in.  Darn!  Well, I will work with what I have.  :)

A couple of weeks ago, I saw this card by Chari Moss.  I knew right away that I wanted to try her sequin technique.  Here is my first take:




I used 1/8" score-tape in lines to adhere the sequins and it went surprisingly quick.  I kept the card design simple, letting the sequins take center stage.

All supplies (minus the sequins) are from PTI.

My second take on this sequin technique uses a word die.  I wanted to make each letter it's own color, and tried my best at a rainbow using the colors that I had on hand.



I stamped a secondary sentiment and then decided to sew a border around the panel that ended in what I'd hoped would look like an arrow.  :)



I thought this would make a fabulous birthday card.

Thanks ever so much for stopping by!
