Fireflies LTC

Things that Glow: Fireflies

I am in the "Things that Glow" LTC tracker and I had a lot of fun making my card.

I quickly found an image that I liked and carved my stamp.  But I wasn't sure how to make it glow.  I searched the web for a glow in the dark ink pad but didn't find anything.  So I used the next best thing-glow in the dark embossing powder.

I stamped my stamp in yellow ink and then used the glow embossing powder.  They look pretty cool but need something.

Adding some splatter to the edge

I used to have some glow in the dark tape that could be used as a border but I couldn't find it.  I cleaned the basement during Spring Break and I must have gotten rid of it because I never used it.  I also thought about trimming the edge of the card and adding a layer of glow paper.  I found some glow origami paper online but decided to try glow paint.  I found some old glow puffy paint and tried painting a border but I didn't like it.  I bought some glow in the dark paint, covered my stamp image, and splatted the paint on.  I really liked this because it looked like fireflies in the distance.

I finished my cards early and planted the stamp in Crown Hill Cemetery in Indy and few months ago :)
