Blast off

Has anyone tried the Diamond dotz, I am not sure what other brands are called that are like this. If you have not seen them they are little dimensional gems that you add to a piece that has sticky surface, under them are a panel of different symbols, kind of like a paint by number and you just add the little gems using a tool that has sticky on the end to pick them up with.  Hubby knew I had wanted to give them a try and when we were in JoAnn's store just before Covid hit he found this kit that he thought my younger great nephews might like on their cards, I think there were three pieces all with a space theme.  They were small enough to find out if I would like doing it before buying a larger one.  I will say it is quite relaxing and something to do while giving your mind time to relax.



The sentiment sheet already had the stars on it so I just colored them in, using same colors on the rocket, I remembered I had stars left over from my memory box background die so I got them out and sprinkled them around. The blast I did using spectrum noir sparkle markers.  I wish I had seen Diane's post and the one she has below first because I would have tried to do something like the she had done so creative and fun.

I didn’t know they made small pieces that you could use for the diamond paintings. I think the big ones are pretty intimidating, but these small ones look fun! Great job!

I've never heard of this, but it's really cute and looks like fun! I'm sure there's a way it could be accomplished with stamps and dies and beads, too. Have to think on that. It's an idea. Thanks, Connie!

I have seen them demonstrated at craft shows before, something different to try! Great card for a young lad.
