Asuka Studio: Sweet n Sparkle Altered Index Cards

Looking into what project to create, I went to a big box store and found myself in the "back to school" section. They had a pack of 100 unlined index cards for 79 cents. Well, it went home with me! LOL! My idea was to alter them and add layers of wonderful Asuka Studio products. Take a look!


**I receive products from Memory Palette Co., Spellbinders® Paper Arts and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**



Sparkles Altered Index Card Instructions

First I need to put a layer of gesso on my index cards. I only did five to start. Let dry.


Using a wet brush, I covered the index card with water and then added my colors. For this card, I used blue and green. Color until you get your desired shades.


While the watercolors are drying, I grabbed a few pieces that I thought would work together well from the Ephemera Packs. I cut the center of the wreath.


For the layers, I cut 2.75 x 4.75-inch of the pink cardstock and 2 5/8 x 4 5/8-inch of the MP-60130 Watercolor Splash Glacier Blue. Then I distressed the edges of both with either fine grade sandpaper or a distressing tool.


To adhere the cardstock piece down to the watercolor index card, I used the E-Z Runner® Ultra Strong Refillable Dispenser. For the MP-60130 Watercolor Splash Glacier Blue piece, I used the 3D Foam Square White in regular size to lift the layer.


The die cuts were taken from a combination of MP-60155 So Sweet Ephemera and MP-60156 So Sweet Ephemera. Pieces were secured with leftovers from the 3D Foam Circles Black in regular size. Don't waste ANYTHING! LOL! And you're done!



Repeat for the other two cards but with different colors and designs. Here's the close up of the other two below.
