I couldn’t resist this Seagull stamp set from MFT Stamps. So I thought it would be the perfect time to try them out with a Nuvo Mousse sea made with a stencil!

I learned about Nuvo Mousse and how to use it from Online Card Classes: Sparkle & Shine. I had already purchased some in Sea Foam green and was waiting for just the right time to use it. Enter Day 5: Paste & Mousse.

Here is my card. The Nuvo Mousse has a little shiny sheen to it when you hold it in the right light. And look closely, because I added a little “glitter foam” to the top of the waves for even more sparkle! (Can you ever have too much sparkle?) I did this using a VersaMark Pen, then sticky embossing powder, then distress glitter in Clear Rock Candy. Can you believe I have never used sticky embossing powder before this class? It’s a tragedy! I love this stuff!

I love Seagulls. They are great for coloring…so easy! I just added a little gray and some yellow/orange for the beaks. The sentiment makes me smile, too. I imagine the seagulls fighting over the fish…saying “mine, mine, mine, mine!” Lol.

I wish you could see the shimmer better. But real life is always more glittery, I guess. 🙂

Kristina Werner inspired me in her class on Glitter paste in the Online Card Classes: Sparkle & Shine. I loved how she made the transition in colors of glitter pastes. So I thought I’d give it a try.

Lucky for me, I already had 3 colors of glitter paste by Bo Bunny. Here’s the background I came up with using a stencil:

Since it was just Mother’s Day, I thought I’d make it into a card for Mom. I like how the transition of color turned out. This card is sure sparkly in real life! That glitter paste is something special. The flower die is from Penny Black, the letters are from Lawn Fawn, and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.

I’m really enjoying this class and I wish it could go on longer! Hope you enjoy my card.
