Today I am using a technique known as Faux Diamonds. It gets it name from the sparkly diamond-like finish.

After stamping some images from Stippled Blossoms on Whisper White with Rich Razzleberry, Coastal Cabana and Midnight Muse inks, I covered the entire surface with Versamark and heat embossed it with Iridescent Ice EP. This was layered onto Rich Razzleberry. The base card of Naturals White was embossed with the Fancy Fan TIEF, and the sentiment comes from Chalk Talk.

Whilst it is difficult to see in the photograph, IRL it really sparkles like diamonds.
