Tender Heart

This is an ATC I just made for one of my swap groups. I couldn’t really capture it in the photo but it has a very delicate glimmer on the heart and around the dark red layer.

I used the Gelly Roll Stardust Clear pen on it. This is a great little accent tool. It add a bit of POP to your artwork without overpowering. I wish I could have gotten it to show better in the photo. It’s like the difference between a clean floor and a clean floor that shines. I have a friend that uses it quite a bit and will often outline every element on the card. Even with that amount of use it still doesn’t invoke thoughts of a glittering disco ball and take over the card. This is a very good pen to keep on hand.

    what a beautiful ATC, Chia. Nice attention to detail. I was happy to read your good review on the pen, becaue I just ordered one a few days ago.

    Thanks, guys! I’m happy with this one. :) It was a “no theme” swap so I decided to stick with my goal of working with hearts this month.

    Chia…this little girl is soooo sweet! I can see some of the glitter accents…does this leave a “raised line” like a 3-D outline when you use it??

    Anyway…cute stuff! Cassie

    Cassie, No raised line. If you close your eyes and run your finger over it you will barely notice it, just a slight texture change. The glitter in it is superfine and the ink base seems to be really light and flows smoothly.

    I love this one. Why couldn’t I come up with something so cool for the last ATCs I just did.
