Joy of Sets February Blog Hop--Sprinkle Hearts

The theme for this month’s Blog Hop is love and hearts! Those two criteria inspired me to make this Valentine’s Day layout featuring my favourite item of the moment, Pigment Sprinkles. I have really been focused with sharing this great product at my groups over the month of January. I was finding two things-my loyal stampers needed an introduction to something NEW and many people were intimidated by how to use the Pigment Sprinkles. They are, my friends, so easy! The first tip I have is to let go of trying to control them! They will work magic for you with just a little water and either water-colour paper or Shimmery White Cardstock as your base. In my case I used Shimmery White to add to the overall finish of the hearts. I have played around with spritzing water first and adding the sprinkles or adding sprinkles and then water and I find I have a better end result by adding sprinkles and then the water. You will also get a different look with using a heat tool (which is what I did in my class settings) versus allowing the product to air dry (who has time for that! hahaha).

You can see here that you only need three ingredients to create something awesome! After you spritz the sprinkles with water, let them sit for a few seconds as they absorb and spread. The last photo shows the difference of letting the sprinkles sit. I then took my heat tool and blasted the paper until it was dry.

I tried to keep the rest of the elements on my scrapbook page minimal to really draw the attention to the sprinkle hearts. They were easy to punch out using the heart punch pack from page 10 of the Occasions Mini. The Happy Valentine’s Day stamp is from the Heartfelt stamp set (pg 10). LOVE is embossed in gold from the Well Said stamp set (found in the main catalogue) and the From My Heart Faceted Gems added the perfect finishing touch!

I hope this page has inspired you to try playing around with the Pigment Sprinkles. You can find them on pg 179 of the main catalogue in a group of six awesome colors. My page features the Mango Melody pigment sprinkles which is actually a great blend of pinks with a tinge of coral and orange!
