I wanted even more dazzle than I get from the Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, which I love and use often. So I used Heat & Stick Powder. Heat & Stick Powder is a grainy, sticky embossing powder that becomes glue-like when heated. After stamping the Medallion image in Ruby Red Craft Ink, I covered it with Heat & Stick Powder, tapped off the excess and heated it with my Heat Gun until the dully grainy powder turned shiny. An important thing to remember with Heat & Stick Powder is to heat it JUST until it turns shiny, but not longer, as you may lose the stickiness. Once my 'glue' had turned shiny, I covered it with Dazzling Diamonds Ultra Fine Glitter and tapped off the excess. Then I heated it for just a little bit longer with my Heat Gun to 'set' the glue and glitter.
To finish my card, I stamped this Merry Christmas sentiment from Many Merry Messages in Chocolate Chip ink and then punched each end with my Modern Label Punch. This is adhered to a Ruby Red mat with Stampin' Dimensionals in the middle and Silver Brads from the Vintage Brads collection on the ends.
